A group of leaders from the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) faced violence during a recent visit to a village in Jaipur for a school inspection. They were attacked and subsequently chased out of the area. Details regarding the motivations behind the attack or the identities of those involved have not been disclosed.
The CJP leaders, led by party co-founder Ashutosh Ranka, came under attack when they were on their way to visit a government primary school in Jaipur’s Bagru Assembly constituency on Friday. Earlier reporting noted: CJP’s Ashutosh Ranka allegedly assaulted during govt school visit in Jaipur Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) co-convener Ashutosh Ranka and party volunteers were allegedly assaulted by a group of people on Friday while they were on their way to inspect a dilapidated government school in Jaipur’s Bagru assembly constituency. “I have been informed that the villagers objected to the visit and did not allow the CJP to enter. This shows that the villagers do not want the kind of atmosphere that the Cockroach Party is trying to create, where they want to disrupt the children’s education. There are no roads, schools, nothing in our area. We want facilities. The attack on the CJP team also led to an uproar in the Rajasthan Assembly, with the BJP and Congress crossing swords. Rajasthan Home Minister Jawahar Singh Bedam claimed it was the Congress that was creating trouble in the garb of the CJP While Congress state president Govind Singh Dotasara blamed the BJP for the attack.
Jaipur MLA Swami Balmukundacharya, who is from the BJP, said that the locals don’t agree with the CJP’s views. Another villager said, “This area has not seen any development. Earlier reporting noted: One of the volunteers suffered a fractured arm in the attack, Ranka said.
Earlier reporting noted: The incident occurred near Rampura Kanwarpura village, where Ranka and his team planned to visit a government school to assess its infrastructure and facilities.
