Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar, demanding the arrest of those who allegedly attacked its volunteers during a school inspection in Jaipur district. The CJP also wants the withdrawal of a disputed government order and Dilawar's resignation, warning of a statewide agitation if demands are not met by Sunday. CJP claims its team was attacked by BJP workers on Dilawar's orders when it went to inspect a government school it says has been operating from a buffalo shed for years. The party says 40 members were injured and stones were thrown at their vehicle. BJP MLA Gopal Sharma mocked the CJP, saying there is no use of a cockroach inside a house. The education minister urged schools not to become political arenas. Congress leader Sachin Pilot accused the state government of trying to hide failures in the education system.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Times Now leads with the CJP ultimatum and the party's direct accusation against Education Minister Madan Dilawar, framing the attack as a BJP-ordered assault on activists. Times of India leads with the BJP's dismissive retort ('no use of a cockroach inside a house'), giving equal weight to the BJP denial and counter-accusations (Congress hand, anarchic elements). The key dispute is whether this was a political suppression of activists or a local law-and-order incident blown up for publicity. The measured read: the CJP's core complaint, a school in a buffalo shed, is undisputed by either source, the political finger-pointing obscures the substantive education deficit. Watch for: the 48-hour deadline expires Sunday, any police action or protest will determine escalation.
