CJP team attacked in Rajasthan school inspection

On August 21, 2026, a team from the India — Rashtriya Janata Dal (CJP) was allegedly attacked by villagers and India — Bharatiya Janata Party workers while attempting to inspect a government school in Rampura Kanwarpura village, Jaipur district, India — Rajasthan, as part of its 'School Thik Karo' campaign. The CJP claimed its members were pelted with stones, vehicles were damaged, and volunteers injured, including a fractured hand. CJP co-convener Ashutosh Ranka accused India — Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar of orchestrating the attack and demanded arrests within 48 hours. Villagers denied violence, saying they opposed the CJP's intention to demolish the school and that funds for repairs had already been sanctioned. The incident escalated political tensions, with India — Indian National Congress leaders condemning the attack and accusing the India — Bharatiya Janata Party of using force to hide poor school infrastructure. The confrontation followed the India — Rajasthan education department's restriction on outsider entry into schools, which the CJP opposed.
