Jaipur, Aug. 22 -- The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Friday gave the Rajasthan government 48 hours to arrest those accused of assaulting its volunteers during a visit to a government school in Jaipur's Bagru constituency, warning of intensified protests and demanding education minister Madan Dilawar's resignation if no action is taken. CJP's co-convener Ashutosh Ranka and other volunteers were allegedly assaulted by a group of people near Rampura Kanwarpura village, where the team had planned to inspect a government school and assess its infrastructure and facilities. Ranka alleged that those involved in the assault were BJP workers. "They attacked us and fractured the arm of one of our volunteers," he said. According to the CJP, after Ranka announced the visit on social media, a group of people gathered near Rampura village, blocked the main road and stopped vehicles passing through the area. When Ranka and other party volunteers reached the spot, they were allegedly assaulted. Ranka alleged that the incident was "pre-planned" and accused the police of failing to intervene despite being aware of the situation. He further alleged that the attack was carried out at the behest of Dilawar. "Today, the entire country witnessed the BJP's hooliganism live. The police were aware of what was happening. Stones were being thrown, but they simply surrendered and said they would not do anything," Ranka alleged. "...You have 48 hours. These goons must be arrested. You must withdraw the order, otherwise we will launch a statewide agitation across Rajasthan. And this time, it will not just be about the schools. This time, we will demand Madan Dilawar's resignation... Today is a black day in Rajasthan's democratic history," Ranka said. "Children are being taught in a buffalo shed, and to stop us from exposing this, the BJP is sending its goons," Ranka alleged, describing the incident as "shameful". "The school has been operating from a buffalo shed for a year. We only want the school to be repaired." He said the CJP would continue visiting government schools. Shivdaspura SHO Rajesh Gautam, however, said villagers had persuaded the CJP workers to turn back twice earlier in the morning and that the situation was peaceful when police inspected the area. "However, when the CJP workers suddenly returned, the villagers became agitated and began assaulting them," Gautam said. Villagers, meanwhile, offered differing accounts of the controversy. Jugal Kishore Sharma, a resident of Rampura, said the villagers were capable of getting their school built and did not need "outsiders" attempting to politicise the issue. Another villager, Manna Lal, acknowledged problems with the school infrastructure. He said the school had been operating from the present premises for around two-and-a-half years. "It used to be a stable, but rooms have since been constructed. The beams are damaged and could collapse at any time. The government is not paying attention," he said. Meanwhile, Dilawar appealed to political groups not to turn schools into "political arenas", saying he had received information that people associated with some political outfits were visiting schools and unnecessarily attempting to disturb the atmosphere. "Schools are sacred spaces where children's futures are shaped. The focus here should be on education, values and the bright future of students, not politics," Dilawar said....
