The Rajasthan government has announced the construction of a new building for Government Primary School, Rampura (Kanwarpura), in Jaipur's Sanganer block, following a confrontation between Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) members and villagers. The work will start on September 1. According to Times Now, Rs 18 lakh has been sanctioned for the project, with Rs 12 lakh from the District Mineral Foundation Trust and Rs 6 lakh from the MLA fund. The announcement came after a CJP team visited the village on August 15 as part of its 'School Thik Karo' campaign and was allegedly attacked by locals. FIRs have been registered by both sides. CJP co-founder Ashutosh Ranka said the immediate demand over the school had been addressed but questioned why the work could not have started earlier. He also demanded a concrete timeline for repairing all dilapidated government schools in the state. Meanwhile, the CJP faces legal challenges in Maharashtra, where its founder Abhijeet Dipke has been booked for allegedly entering a government school without permission. The Hindustan Times reports that CJP spokesperson Saurav Das rejected suggestions from Aarin Capital chairman Mohandas Pai on how to conduct the campaign, calling them 'boring, unconnected to reality'.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Times Now's two articles frame the Rajasthan government's action as a responsive move after the CJP incident, while Hindustan Times focuses on the ideological clash between CJP and Mohandas Pai, omitting the government's financial sanction. The pro-government framing emphasises the swift allocation of funds, whereas the CJP's criticism that the work should have happened earlier is downplayed. A careful reader should note that while the government acted after the confrontation, the underlying issue of dilapidated school infrastructure across Rajasthan remains unresolved. Watch for the CJP's next moves in other states and the government's timeline for repairs.
