New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) unease with Abhijeet Dipke-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and their latest campaign on the condition of Indian schools was on display in Rajasthan and West Bengal last week as the saffron party floundered for a response to the accountability drive.Dipke last week announced the launch of CJP’s ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign from August 15 to spotlight the abysmal condition of public schools in the country. The party asked people to volunteer and conduct audits in their local schools as part of the campaign to assess the facilities available to students.“We have made a new Parliament, a new PM house. Why have we not been able to build new schools in our villages? Do we not consider the children of farmers and labourers the future of our country?” Dipke said while launching the campaign last Monday (August 10).“Kids in villages shouldn’t be pleading for basic facilities at school after 80 years of Independence! As a country, we have failed rural kids in the worst possible way,” he said a day later.Days into the campaign, volunteers have begun auditing schools in their villages. “We are completely overwhelmed by the mass movement that #SchoolThikKaro campaign has turned into. Thousands of young Indians are auditing govt schools and the sights are not pretty. Our children have been condemned to failure by the apathy of governments,” CJP said in a post on X.Dipke conducts the first auditOn Saturday (August 15), Dipke went to his native village of Santuk Pimpri in Hingoli district of Maharashtra to conduct the first audit of the campaign. Listing his findings in a post on X, Dipke said that the school lacked drinking water, benches and clean washrooms among other infrastructural issues.The party has also uploaded an audit form on their website containing 10 sections. Volunteers have been asked to collect information on basic facilities like access to clean drinking water, toilets and electricity connection. The form also includes questions about the safety of the school premises, teacher-pupil ration, disbursement of relevant funds for the institution, mid-day meals and accessible infrastructure for students with disabilities.The form also contains a do’s and don’ts section asking volunteers not to disturb classes or intervene in the regular functioning of the school. It discourages volunteers from getting involved in confrontations. “You have no right to force entry, seize documents or question staff like an authority. Your power is your form, your photo and your written complaint — not confrontation,” the form reads.‘CJP volunteer’s father fatally attacked’As it picks up pace, the campaign has found itself in the crosshairs of BJP state governments in Rajasthan and West Bengal.CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka on Sunday (August 16) alleged that a volunteer from West Bengal’s Bankura district was hounded by BJP goons after he inspected a school in Indus block. The volunteer, Abdul Hafiz, was allegedly beaten up after he reached home and his father, Janab Mafik, who intervened to break up the scuffle, was fatally attacked by the goons, Ranka said.“This morning, his father passed away. So, our entire team is going to Bengal tonight. We will rest only after getting justice for Abdul and his family,” Ranka said in a post on Instagram.Meanwhile, in Rajasthan, the government has imposed restrictions on those entering the public school premises. It also laid down rules for photography and live streaming of school premises or collection of personal information of students or teachers.The government claimed that the guidelines had been issued to protect the students’ right to privacy. Notably, the guidelines came the day Ranka announced that he would be visiting schools across Rajasthan to conduct audits. Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dostara too slammed the BJP government for attempting to hide the condition of public schools instead of addressing the infrastructural gaps. “Instead of improving the condition of government schools, the BJP government has found a way to cover up its failure and hide the poor condition of the education system,” Dostara said.
