A fresh political showdown erupts in Rajasthan after the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) gives the state government a 48-hour ultimatum following an alleged attack on its volunteers during a government school inspection in Jaipur district. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has threatened to travel to Jaipur and stage a sit-in if the alleged attackers are not arrested and repair work at the school does not begin. The CJP is also demanding the resignation of Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar and withdrawal of the government order at the centre of the dispute.

A major controversy has erupted after CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke was assaulted during a protest in Jaipur, triggering a political storm and renewed debate over dissent, student movements and political intolerance. The incident occurred during a demonstration focused on examination and recruitment-related issues, where Dipke was slapped multiple times by individuals who entered the gathering. Police later detained two youths in connection with the incident as authorities began investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack. In the aftermath, Dipke alleged that the assault was not a random act but an ideologically motivated attempt to disrupt the movement and divert public attention away from the concerns being raised by students and job aspirants.
