The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has warned Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta that it will launch another protest if promised repairs and improvements at government schools in Sanjay Colony, Chhatarpur, are not started by September 15.
CJP co-convenor Saurav Das inspected schools in the area as part of the organisation’s “School Thik Karo” campaign. He alleged that students were being forced to study in poor conditions and that several basic facilities were missing.
According to Das, both the Municipal Corporation of Delhi school and the Delhi government school in the area have serious infrastructure problems. He claimed the schools have tin roofs, inadequate flooring and garbage around the premises. He also alleged that students do not have proper access to computers and libraries, while toilet facilities are either incomplete or in poor condition.
Das also raised concerns about the quality of mid-day meals being provided to students. He said the situation was particularly worrying because children from Nursery to Class 12 depend on these schools for their education.
The CJP said residents of Sanjay Colony have given the government until September 15 to begin the work that was allegedly promised. The group warned that it would return to the streets if the deadline passed without visible action.
In posts on X, the organisation accused the BJP-led Delhi government of failing to address the condition of the schools despite earlier assurances. Das claimed that Gupta had visited Sanjay Colony in February and had promised to improve or rebuild the school.
He alleged that six months later, the condition of the premises remained largely unchanged.
“The people of Sanjay Colony have decided 15 September as the deadline for the promised work to begin,” the CJP said in its post, adding that it would continue monitoring the situation.
Das said the campaign was aimed at highlighting the problems faced by students and residents rather than remaining limited to political statements. He also warned that the group would organise another protest if the government failed to act.
The Delhi government, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and the BJP’s Delhi unit have not publicly responded to the allegations so far.
The dispute comes amid continuing political debates over government-school infrastructure in the national capital, with opposition groups frequently raising concerns about facilities, sanitation and education standards.
