Jaipur, Sept. 3 -- The dilapidated building of a government school in Jaipur's Rampura Kanwarpura village was demolished on Wednesday for the construction of a new building, about two weeks after Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) workers were attacked during a visit to the site last month to inspect it. The CJP described the start of work as a victory for its 'School Thik Karo' (fix the schools) campaign. Party co-convener Ashutosh Ranka, who was injured in the attack on August 21, said the school had been functioning from a buffalo shed. "During the inspection, stones were thrown at us, women were assaulted and car windows were broken. But when a good school is built for our children, it will all be worth it," Ranka wrote on X. Villager Lalchand Sharma welcomed the government's decision, saying the demolition of the unsafe structure and construction of a new building were positive developments. "The recent incidents and chaos surrounding the school were unnecessary. Schools are temples of learning and should not be politicised," Sharma said. He added that villagers were happy with the decision and would extend all possible cooperation during construction. The Government Primary School, located in the Bagru Assembly constituency, was declared unsafe in September 2025 and subsequently taken out of use , officials said. Its 18 students have since been attending classes in two rooms and a tin shed arranged by villagers. Buffaloes are also tethered near the temporary facility. On August 21, CJP workers who visited the school were attacked by a group of people present there. The incident triggered criticism of the state government. Two days later, the government announced Rs.18 lakh for the construction of a new school building. According to the government order, Rs.12 lakh was approved from the District Mineral Foundation Trust on August 13, while another Rs.6 lakh was sanctioned from the MLA fund. The BJP, however, disputed the CJP's claim of credit for the new school building. BJP spokesperson Lakshmikant Bhardwaj, in a post on X, said funds for the project had been sanctioned before the CJP workers visited the village. "Mr Ashutosh Ranka, don't try to take false credit. Rs.12 lakh from the government and Rs.6 lakh from the local MLA fund had already been sanctioned for this school before you appeared here. You were aware of this, which is why you came to take credit, and the villagers gave you a warm welcome. Please visit again," he wrote sarcastically. Meanwhile, the CJP has expanded its campaign to other parts of the state.
