CJP launches 'School Thik Karo' campaign · thehansindia.com

A man named Abhijeet Dipke leads a small political party called the Cockroach Janta Party.

On India's Independence Day, he started a new campaign called 'School Thik Karo,' which means 'fix the school.'

He visited a government school in his home village in Maharashtra to check its condition.

He found problems like toilets without water, broken windows and not enough benches for all the students.

He said that if schools still lack basic things like water after 80 years of independence, the country cannot develop.

His group wants people across India to check their local government schools and report missing facilities like water, electricity and toilets.

He also said private schools charge too much money, up to Rs 1.5 lakh, so their fees should have a limit to help poor children.

He claimed more than 94,000 government schools have been closed in India over the past ten years.

He questioned spending on banners in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar for a rally attended by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, saying the money could have improved schools.

He promised a similar campaign to improve public hospitals, where he says patients sleep on floors and wait a long time for treatment.
