# CJP audit flags Mumbai school gaps, 611 Rajasthan schools lack buildings 2026-08-20T12:07:59+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets A civic audit by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has found severe infrastructure gaps at Mumbai Public School in Colaba, including just 25 benches for a class of 70 students, dirty toilets, broken taps, no CCTV cameras, and no sanitary pads for girls. The CJP has given the civic administration one month to fix the issues or face a protest. The school is operating from a temporary building after its original premises were declared unsafe, and enrolment has dropped from 3,700 to around 2,700 students, with nearly 1,000 students leaving, according to CJP member Pranay Ahire. Separately, the Rajasthan government told the Legislative Assembly that 611 government schools across the state are functioning without their own buildings, as per UDISE data for 2025-26. The BJP-led state government blamed the previous Congress government for the situation. Jaipur alone has 38 such schools. The government announced Rs 1,000 crore for school repairs and construction, with Rs 2,500 crore planned annually over five years. The CJP's 'School Thik Karo' campaign, which uncovered these issues, has also faced an attack on its team in Bagru near Jaipur. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources report the facts without partisan framing, but the Rajasthan story includes the BJP government blaming the previous Congress regime for the school-building shortfall, which the ToI story on Mumbai does not mirror with any political attribution. Livemint also mentions the attack on CJP members, adding a security dimension absent from the Mumbai audit. A neutral reader should note that while both states face infrastructure deficits, the responses differ: Rajasthan has announced a specific funding plan, while Mumbai's BMC has only summoned the headmaster. The key number to watch is the one-month deadline set by CJP for Mumbai. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straight factual reporting of CJP audit findings and BMC response - livemint.com (neutral report) Reports Rajasthan government data and CJP campaign without editorialising This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
