CJP claims ‘major win’ as Rajasthan clears Rs 18 lakh for ‘cowshed school’ building
On September 1, the Rajasthan government announced it would allocate Rs 18 lakh for constructing a new building at a school in Rampura, Jaipur's Sanganer block. The fledgling Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) had threatened a protest reminiscent of Jantar Mantar if the dilapidated buffalo shed school was not repaired and the attackers were not apprehended.
The government approved Rs 12 lakh from the District Mineral Foundation Trust (DMFT) fund and Rs 6 lakh from the MLA fund for the project. CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, who was attacked while visiting the school, hailed the decision as a "major victory." The government explained that the school, established in 1985, had originally housed two classrooms, a veranda, and a toilet but was declared dilapidated after a technical survey.
Despite villagers' objections, the school was temporarily moved to nearby Bilwa school. However, locals preferred the buffalo shed, leading to the new building's construction to meet the villagers' demands.
