  "account": "The death of Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Abdul Hafiz's father, Sheikh Mohammad Mafiq, has sparked a political showdown in West Bengal, where the CJP is eyeing to expand its influence. The BJP government in Bengal is facing intense criticism over the incident. Following the attack on Hafiz and his father, CJP leaders have demanded justice and the establishment of an international standard school in his father's name. The CJP is now planning to launch a 'School Thik Karo' (Fix the School) campaign in Bengal to highlight the poor condition of schools in the state. The party's expansion efforts come as the TMC, the main Opposition party, has seen a decline in its support, with a majority of its MPs and MLAs aligning with the BJP-led NDA or forming separate blocs.",
