Villagers clash with CJP’s school inspection team in Rajasthan
Locals allegedly pushed the activists out of the village in Bagru and barricaded the main approach road
Villagers in Rampura Kanwarpura, Jaipur district, Rajasthan, clashed with the Janata Party (CJP) school inspection team on Friday, August 21, 2026, during their ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign. The team visited the government primary school to inspect its infrastructure and interact with students and teachers. Locals allegedly barricaded the main approach road to the village and pushed the activists out, sources reported.
Bagru DSP Dharmendra Sharma denied knowledge of the incident. The school, declared unsafe, has been closed for students while classes are held in a nearby cattle enclosure. Villagers, supported by BJP workers, claimed the government had sanctioned funds for repairs. CJP co-convener Ashutosh Ranka criticized the Rajasthan government for restricting outsiders' entry into schools, accusing the education minister of attempting to conceal the poor state of education.
CJP planned to assess conditions at two more government schools in Jaipur district, aiming to improve primary education in rural areas.
