'Mute spectator': Dipke targets police as locals 'push' CJP team out of Rajasthan village
CJP said volunteers were injured and vehicles were damaged after villagers and BJP workers blocked the inspection of a government primary school.
- On Friday, a Cockroach Janata Party inspection team led by Ashutosh Ranka faced a violent confrontation in Rampura-Kanwarpura village. Locals and alleged Bharatiya Janata Party workers blocked the team, pelted them with stones, and forced them to leave.
- The visit was part of the CJP's 'School Thik Karo' campaign to assess infrastructure; students have studied in a buffalo shed for years. Tensions escalated following an August 16 government order restricting outsider access to Rajasthan schools.
- Ranka alleged that attackers smashed vehicles, destroyed phones, and fractured one volunteer's arm. He accused police of remaining 'mute spectators' during violence, while Bagru DSP Dharmendra Sharma claimed to be unaware of the situation.
- Following the clash, CJP leaders issued a 48-hour ultimatum for the arrest of those involved. Ranka warned that failure to comply will trigger statewide agitation and demands for Education Minister Madan Dilawar's resignation.
- Conflicting accounts emerged as villagers and BJP representatives denied the assault, claiming government funds had already been sanctioned for school repairs. This incident underscores deepening political polarization in Rajasthan, where physical confrontations have become increasingly frequent.
