‘We Will Not Back Down’: CJP Keeps Pressure on Rajasthan Government over Alleged Violent Clash

The state sanctioned Rs 18 lakh for the new building after a confrontation over the school's dilapidated condition and cross-FIRs were filed.

  • On Sunday, the Rajasthan government announced construction of a new building for the Government Primary School in Rampura Kanwarpura, Jaipur, will begin September 1, following a violent confrontation involving the Cockroach Janata Party last week.
  • Previously declared dilapidated in September 2025, the school forced students into a makeshift cattle enclosure arranged by villagers. The facility housed 18 students and two teachers awaiting government intervention.
  • Officials sanctioned Rs 18 lakh for the project, including Rs 12 lakh from the District Mineral Foundation Trust and Rs 6 lakh from the MLA fund. The announcement follows Friday's violence during the CJP's 'School Thik Karo' campaign visit.
  • CJP co-convener Ashutosh Ranka described the move as a 'huge victory' for the party's campaign, though police registered cross-FIRs regarding the confrontation. Ranka urged the government to ensure adequate arrangements, saying children should not study in cow shelters.
  • Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma's administration prepared a three-year, Rs 12,500-crore roadmap for schools across 41 districts. Ranka continues pressing for repairs, citing around 3,000 dilapidated school buildings and 611 schools operating without permanent structures.
