‘We are not turning away’ Dipke gives Rajasthan 24 hours to act after CJP team attack

Abhijeet Dipke’s 48-hour ultimatum to the Rajasthan government over an alleged attack on a CJP team has entered its final 24 hours, with the CJP founder warning of a protest in Jaipur if action is not taken.

The alleged incident took place after CJP co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka and his team visited a government school in Rampura Kanwarpura in Jaipur as part of the party’s “Fix Our Schools” campaign.

Dipke alleged that members of the team were attacked during the visit, with stones allegedly thrown at them and vehicles damaged. He also claimed that Ranka was beaten and that a volunteer suffered a broken arm.

These allegations have not been independently established in the material provided.

Dipke gives Rajasthan 48 hours

Following the alleged incident, Dipke demanded action against those responsible and gave the Rajasthan government 48 hours to make arrests.

With half of that period now over, 24 hours remain on the deadline.

Dipke has said he will travel to Jaipur and stage a protest if arrests are not made within the stipulated period.

CJP says school campaign will continue

Dipke has maintained that the alleged attack will not stop the party’s campaign targeting the condition of government schools.

He said Ranka would continue visiting schools and that he would also travel to Rajasthan.

The CJP campaign has focused on highlighting alleged deficiencies in government schools, including infrastructure and basic facilities.

The immediate issue is whether Rajasthan Police or the state government announces arrests or other action before the 48-hour deadline expires.

If no action is announced, Dipke has threatened to hold a protest in Jaipur, potentially turning the alleged attack into a larger political confrontation.

The dispute comes against the backdrop of CJP’s ongoing “Fix Our Schools” campaign, which has sought to draw attention to the condition of government schools.

The alleged attack has shifted attention from the school infrastructure claims to questions of political confrontation and the safety of the CJP team.

At present, the claims about the attack and the alleged involvement of people associated with the BJP remain allegations made by Dipke and the CJP. The response of Rajasthan Police and the state government will be important in establishing what action, if any, follows the incident.
