BJP Rejects CJP Attack Claims After Jaipur School Visit
'Goons of BJP after blood of Ashutosh': Dipke slams BJP, criticises Rajasthan police · wionews.com

The Cockroach Janta Party said its members were attacked during a visit to inspect a government school in Jaipur.

The party said the school was being run in a temporary shed or buffalo shed.

Ashutosh Ranka and Abhijeet Dipke blamed people they said were connected to the BJP.

They said stones were thrown, vehicles were damaged and some volunteers were hurt.

Dipke also criticised the Rajasthan Police for allegedly not stopping the attack.

Videos of the confrontation were shared online, but the allegations were not independently verified.

Local resident who disputed the CJP’s account of the incident

“Rajasthan Police seems to be a mute spectator while goons attack CJP volunteers for visiting govt schools. They don’t seem to have a problem with schools running in buffalo stables, but somehow have a problem with CJP volunteers entering those schools. What exactly are they trying to protect?”

“When Ashutosh reached there with his team, they were subjected to a very serious attack. Stones were pelted at them, vehicles were attacked, and women members were also assaulted. We have seen the videos where BJP goons were beating and assaulting CJP volunteers in groups.”
