Villagers clash with CJP’s school inspection team in Rajasthan
Activists from the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) were forced out of a village in Rajasthan by locals during an inspection of a government school. The villagers, supported by local BJP members, protested the inspection and the school's current state, where classes are being held in a cattle enclosure.
Why it matters
The incident highlights growing tensions over the oversight of public infrastructure and the political friction between activist groups and local communities in India.
A Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) team faced resistance from villagers during a visit to a government primary school in Jaipur's Bagru Assembly constituency on Friday (August 21, 2026) as part of its ongoing ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign , with locals allegedly pushing the activists out of the village, sources said.
The incident took place at Rampura Kanwarpura village in Jaipur district, where CJP workers had gone to inspect the school and interact with the students and teachers.
Bagru DSP Dharmendra Sharma, however, said he was unaware of any such development.
The locals reportedly barricaded the main approach road to the village before the CJP team arrived and were seen checking vehicles entering the area.
