The Story

The Rajasthan government has approved ₹18 lakh for the construction of a new building at a government primary school near Jaipur, following a visit by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and claims that the school was operating from a buffalo shed.

The approval includes ₹12 lakh from the District Mineral Foundation Trust fund and ₹6 lakh from the MLA fund. Construction is scheduled to begin on September 1. The CJP has claimed this as a 'massive' victory. The school, located in Rampura (Kanwarpura) in Jaipur's Sanganer block, was declared dilapidated in September 2025 and serves 18 students and two teachers.

CJP leader Ashutosh Ranka, who visited the school on August 21 as part of the 'School Thik Karo' campaign, alleged that he and his team were attacked by 'BJP goons' during the visit. The CJP has also accused the Centre of 'vishwasghat' (betrayal) for not fulfilling commitments made to end protests at Jantar Mantar, warning of further action on August 24. The CJP has also stated that an FIR has been filed against its leader Abhijeet Dipke over alleged school entry and threats.
