CJP Co‑convener Ashutosh Ranka Attacked Near Jaipur School, Volunteer’s Arm Fractured
· India · Hindustan Times, Zee News, Indian Express
CJP co‑convener Ashutosh Ranka and party volunteers were attacked on Friday while traveling to inspect a government school in the Bagru assembly constituency of Jaipur, Rajasthan. The clash occurred near Rampura Kanwarpura village, and one volunteer sustained a fractured arm. Ranka claimed the assailants were workers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, a allegation that Hindustan Times could not verify. A video shows a group confronting the CJP team amid chants of “Jai Shri Ram”. The CJP team had planned to assess the condition of two schools, citing dilapidated structures and unsafe facilities at the Rampura school. No response from the BJP had been received at the time of reporting.
Why it matters
The assault raises safety concerns for political activists and may heighten tensions between the CJP and BJP in Rajasthan, while also spotlighting the poor state of local school infrastructure.
