Amid Cockroach Janta Party’s ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign, the youth-led movement’s chief spokesperson Saurav Das was engaged in a war of words with Mohandas Pai, chairman of Aarin Capital, after the later suggested how the CJP should move ahead with its campaign.
Pai had a bunch of suggestions for the CJP’s campaign to highlight the infrastructural issues of government-run schools in India. But Das rejected them as ‘slow, boring, unconnected to reality’. “Prepare a report on the status on the ground by Taluk and give it to the state government Then demand change armed with full data. Publish a quarterly report and talk to citizens. Now you have data on your side and citizens will respect you for your work. You will know which state is behind,” Pai wrote. The incident occurred near Rampura Kanwarpura village, where Ranka and his team planned to visit a government school to assess its infrastructure and facilities. The CJP team had planned to visit two government schools in Jaipur, one at Rampura Kanwarpura and the other at Bhatta Wala on Vatika Road.
Pai called his allegations rubbish and said that the CJP volunteers should have not gone as a ‘mob’ to the school. One of the volunteers suffered a fractured arm in the attack, Ranka said. CJP volunteers, led by co-convener Ranka, were allegedly assaulted by a group of people on Friday while they were on their way to inspect a government school in Jaipur’s Bagru assembly constituency.
You lead, we follow. Deal?”
Das reacted sharply to Pai’s remarks and said, “Sir, please come along with us next time and show us how to do it best.
