CJP plans Maharashtra audit of public hospitals

The Story in Brief

The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Saturday announced a Maharashtra-wide campaign to assess government hospitals, citing alleged overcrowding, treatment delays and poor facilities. Founder Abhijeet Dipke said patients sometimes sleep on floors, wait for surgeries and face delays of up to a week for CT scans, according to The Times of India. The campaign will document infrastructure gaps and access to treatment.

The initiative follows the CJP’s School Thik Karo campaign, which audits government schools for water, toilets, benches, windows and other basic facilities. During a visit to his native village in Hingoli, Dipke’s team reported dirty toilets, poor water supply, missing benches and broken windows at a government school, Hindustan Times reported. The party plans to compile its findings and seek improvements.
