Cockroach Janta Party convenor Abhijeet Dipke launched the School Thik Karo campaign on Independence Day from Santuk Pimpri in Maharashtra’s Hingoli district. The campaign seeks better infrastructure in government schools, including benches, drinking water and toilets. CJP teams will visit villages and ask residents, parents and sarpanches to inspect schools, report gaps and help fix them.

Dipke accused successive political parties of neglecting government schools and questioned the money spent on banners for a Tiranga rally attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. He said rural children sometimes walk long distances to school and urged greater attention to education.

The easy political story is that rallies waste money while schools suffer, but Dipke has not established how much the banners cost or whether that money could legally fund school repairs. The opposite lazy claim, that village schools need no scrutiny, is also hard to defend when reports mention missing water, toilets and roads. The campaign should be judged by inspections completed, defects fixed and schools served, not slogans. How many schools will CJP document and improve in its first month?
