CJP’s Dipke flags poor facilities at rural school and exam glitches

Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke launched the 'School Thik Karo' campaign from his ancestral village Santuk Pimpri in Hingoli district on Saturday, highlighting the neglect of a zilla parishad school. He shared videos showing no drinking water, no benches, dirty washrooms, and broken windows, one covered with a banner of deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde. The sarpanch has assured the gram panchayat will resolve the issues within a week, Dipke said.

On Sunday, Dipke joined a student protest in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar over alleged irregularities in the Bombay High Court clerk recruitment typing test. Students said faulty mice and keyboards left many logged out within 10 minutes, after which they were declared failed. Dipke criticised the authorities for lacking the infrastructure to conduct online exams properly.

Sanjay Wankhede, director of Sornet ITE Genus, which ran the exam centre, said keyboards were brand new and only a minor printing issue had slowed things down. The CJP has demanded a re-exam. The group also plans a campaign against the poor condition of public hospitals.
