The Story in Brief
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) will launch its 'School Thik Karo' campaign on Independence Day to improve government schools in villages. Founder Abhijeet Dipke announced the drive, calling it a response to decades of neglect of rural education. He will start from his own village, Hingoli in Maharashtra, by asking the sarpanch to upgrade facilities.
Under the campaign, the CJP has urged parents to conduct social audits of their children's schools, checking for electricity, clean water, functional toilets and mid-day meals. It has also issued a 'Sarpanch Challenge', promising to publicly recognise village heads who improve their schools. Citizens can send video evidence and audit forms to the party's email.
The Indian Opinion
Some may brush off the CJP's campaign as another social-media stunt by a party born on satire. But the group has already forced a Union minister's resignation and drawn crowds to Jantar Mantar, so it cannot be dismissed as a mere online lark. Yet the real test is not in videos and audit forms. It is in whether sarpanches, often tied to local power equations, actually fix a single toilet or drinking-water tap. If that happens, the campaign will have done more than a hundred speeches.
