A visit by Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka to inspect a government primary school in Jaipur's Rampura Kanwarpura village turned contentious on Friday after his team was allegedly confronted and driven away by local residents.

According to the information available, Ranka and his associates reached the school in the Bagru area as part of a planned inspection of government schools. The CJP alleged that members of the group were assaulted and that stones were pelted at them during the confrontation.

The incident has triggered a political dispute, with CJP accusing BJP supporters of violence while local residents and BJP workers denied attacking the visiting team.

School Inspection Turns Confrontational

The CJP had planned to visit two government schools in Jaipur on Friday. Party workers reportedly reached the Rampura Kanwarpura school at around 8 am, while Ranka and his associates arrived later in the morning.

The school building has reportedly been declared unsafe because of its dilapidated condition. Classes are currently being conducted at a temporary location nearby.

As the CJP team arrived, local residents allegedly forced the activists to leave the area. Villagers subsequently staged a protest outside the school and raised slogans against the party.

A tractor-trolley was also reportedly positioned on the main road leading to the village, temporarily blocking access.

Villagers Reject Allegations

Local residents and BJP workers opposed the CJP team's visit, saying they did not want an outside political organisation to intervene in the school's affairs.

They claimed that the government had already sanctioned funds for repairing the school building and that the work would be undertaken through the local political leadership.

Villager Jugal Kishore Sharma denied that residents had assaulted the CJP team. He alleged instead that a large number of people had accompanied the party and claimed that a vehicle belonging to the group was damaged during the confrontation.

The allegations from both sides could not be independently verified from the information provided.

School Building in Poor Condition

The dispute has also drawn attention to the condition of the government primary school.

The original school building has reportedly been closed after becoming structurally unsafe. Iron supports have been installed around parts of the structure, while students have been shifted to a temporary arrangement approximately 50 metres away.

According to the available details, children are currently studying under a tin shed in a structure that was previously used as a cattle enclosure. Animal fodder is reportedly stored nearby, while portions of the building have suffered damage, including fallen bricks.

The condition of the school became one of the central issues highlighted by the CJP during its inspection campaign.

Ranka Accuses BJP Workers

Following the confrontation, Ranka accused BJP workers of attacking his team and described the incident as a serious law-and-order issue.

He alleged that the incident took place at the behest of Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar and demanded action against those responsible.

Ranka also issued a 48-hour ultimatum, saying the party would intensify its movement if the alleged attackers were not arrested and the restrictions on its activities were not withdrawn.

CJP Targets Rajasthan Government

The CJP later posted its allegations on social media, claiming that its members were attacked while raising concerns about school facilities.

The party questioned the Rajasthan Police's response and alleged that BJP workers were openly engaging in violence.

The CJP said the incident demonstrated a deterioration in law and order in the state and vowed to continue raising issues concerning government schools.

Political Dispute Escalates

The incident has added a political dimension to concerns over the condition of government schools in the area.

While the CJP says its visit was aimed at highlighting inadequate facilities for students, local residents maintain that the school repair process has already been sanctioned and that political outsiders should not interfere.

With both sides making competing allegations, the immediate focus is likely to remain on whether any formal police complaint is registered and whether authorities investigate the alleged assault and stone-pelting.

Chief Minister of Rajasthan Bhajan Lal Sharma has begun his two-day visit to Bhilwara starting Friday, June 5, with a strong focus on rural outreach, direct public interaction, and review of ongoing development schemes. The visit includes a night chaupal, village-level engagement, and overnight stay in a rural household, marking a continuation of the government’s grassroots governance model.

The Chief Minister is scheduled to travel by helicopter from Jaipur at 4:30 PM and reach the Lamba helipad in Bhilwara at 5:15 PM. From there, he will proceed to Government Senior Secondary School, Lamba, where a Gram Vikas Chaupal will be held from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. The program is expected to witness participation from villagers, local representatives, and administrative officials.

Officials have confirmed that the Chief Minister will also stay overnight in the village and continue his public interaction program the following morning before returning to Jaipur on June 6. Security arrangements have been tightened across all venues, including the helipad and school premises.

Rural Outreach Program in Lamba

The central focus of the visit is the Gram Vikas Chaupal in Lamba village under Asind Assembly constituency. During the session, the Chief Minister is expected to directly interact with residents, listen to grievances, and review the implementation of state welfare schemes.

The administration has arranged seating and logistical facilities at the school ground to accommodate villagers and officials. According to sources, the objective of the chaupal is to ensure real-time feedback from rural communities and address development gaps at the grassroots level.

Night Stay and Social Engagement

As part of the outreach initiative, the Chief Minister will have dinner at the residence of Vinod Raigar, a local villager belonging to the Scheduled Caste community. Officials say this is intended to highlight inclusive governance and strengthen social engagement across communities.

For overnight stay, arrangements have been made at the newly constructed house of Kanhaiyalal Pipada, a local worker associated with the Jain community. The decision to stay within a village household is being seen as part of the government’s effort to bring leadership closer to rural populations.

Administrative Preparedness and Security

District administration in Bhilwara has made extensive arrangements for the Chief Minister’s visit. District Collector Jasmeet Singh Sandhu held meetings with departmental officers to ensure smooth execution of the program.

Superintendent of Police Sagar Rana inspected security arrangements at the helipad and the chaupal venue. Police deployment, crowd management, and emergency response systems have been strengthened to avoid any disruptions during the visit. Officials confirmed that coordination between civil and police administration is being maintained at all levels.

Morning Schedule and Vande Ganga Campaign

On the second day, the Chief Minister will begin his schedule early in the morning with a village walk and interaction program between 6:00 AM and 8:20 AM. He is also expected to participate in religious and community activities under the state’s Vande Ganga campaign by offering prayers at the village pond.

Following this, he will interact with local residents over tea and discuss issues related to rural infrastructure, agriculture, water conservation, and welfare schemes. The Chief Minister will then depart for Jaipur at 8:20 AM and is expected to reach Jaipur Airport by 9:15 AM.

Governance Through Direct Dialogue

The Bhilwara visit is being viewed as part of the state government’s broader strategy to strengthen direct communication between leadership and rural citizens. Such programs aim to bridge administrative gaps and ensure faster grievance redressal at the village level.

Officials suggest that inputs gathered during these interactions may be used for improving the implementation of ongoing development schemes in rural Rajasthan. The visit also reflects an emphasis on participatory governance and field-level monitoring by top leadership.
