CJP gives Rajasthan education minister 48-hour deadline
Times of India··21 Aug
On 21 August 2026, Cockroach Janta Party co-convener Ashutosh Ranka gave Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar 48 hours to arrest people he said attacked CJP volunteers during a school inspection in Rampura Kanwarpura, Jaipur district. He also demanded withdrawal of an order restricting public inspections of government schools, and said the group would seek Dilawar's resignation if the deadline passed.

What It Means For You
- If your child studies at that Rampura Kanwarpura primary school, both sides agree classes have been held outside a safe building, including in a cattle shed.
- Anyone in Rajasthan who inspects government schools should note CJP wants a restriction order on public inspections withdrawn.
- If you are named in the alleged assault, CJP has set a 48-hour arrest demand. Villagers say they did not hit the team.
What's Happening
- The confrontation is being used by CJP to widen a school-repair campaign into a demand for the education minister's resignation.
- Police inaction is part of Ranka's complaint. No independent arrest list had been published with the first reports.
- The minister's counter is that CJP and Congress are trying to derail state education work, not a point-by-point reply on the shed.
What School Thik Karo Was Doing In That Village
- School Thik Karo is CJP's campaign of visiting government schools to check buildings, teachers and whether classes are in makeshift sheds.
- Ranka said the same school was already in a buffalo shed when CJP visited last year.
- Villagers said 20 to 25 children still study there and that repair money through the local MLA had been sanctioned, which is a claim CJP has not accepted as proof the building is safe.
