Rajasthan village shifts school after CJP clash
The Hindu··23 Aug
On 22 August 2026, about 20 pupils of the government primary school in Rampura-Kanwarpura near Jaipur were moved to a vacant house after Friday's clash during a Cockroach Janta Party school visit. The children had been studying in a cattle enclosure beside an unsafe building. A former grocery room was given over for Saturday class.

What It Means For You
- If your child is on the Rampura-Kanwarpura primary roll, Saturday's class was in a vacant house and a former shop room, not the cattle enclosure used until Friday.
- Anyone who went with the CJP team on 21 August should note Shivdaspura has complaints from both the visitors and residents.
- If you live in the village, residents told reporters they want the building reconstructed so that the political visit is not the only reason the school moved.
What's Happening
- The shift happened within about 24 hours of the Friday confrontation, while police were still taking both FIRs.
- CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke alleged BJP workers were involved. Bagru DSP Dharmendra Sharma had earlier said he was not aware of that claim.
- Villagers said they did not want the school dispute to take a political twist, even as both sides named assault in writing.
Why Classes Moved From A Cattle Shed
- The original school building had already been declared unsafe, which is why pupils were in a cattle enclosure before the CJP visit.
- The Cockroach Janta Party's School Thik Karo campaign inspects rural government schools and is not a state education-department inspection.
- Ranka also said some men seen in the clash later appeared with local BJP MLA Kailash Verma, a claim the MLA's side has not adopted as fact in the first police notes.
