A Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) team, led by its co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, was attacked while it was on its way to inspect a government school in Bagru near Jaipur on Friday.One of the key reasons behind the team’s visit was to look into the allegation that the school was being run out of a cowshed. Last year, the school building was declared as unsafe and closed down, with entry prohibited. The students were shifted nearby to a temporary enclosure which also allegedly houses buffaloes.The school, though, is not the only one in the state afflicted by such “structural” issues.Also Read | 'No use for a cockroach': Minister's jibe after CJP tries to visit Rajasthan schoolIn state capital Jaipur alone, as many as 38 schools are running without a building.
