Cockroach Janta Party has started a REVOLUTION! | Dhruv Rathee — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Do you know, there is a government school in this country which is run in a buffalo farm.
- 0:05There is a tin roof above, there is a buffalo farm next to it and there the small children study on the ground.
- 0:12Meaning where the animal farm is kept, you are teaching the children there.
- 0:16No, no, you will not touch the camera.
- 0:18And this is not a temporary arrangement of one day, it has been going on like this for a whole year.
- 0:23Even more shocking is that when some people reached to make a video of this school, their cars were broken.
- 0:30They were beaten up and even women were not spared.
- 0:37But this is not just about one village.
- 0:40Today almost every village in the country has schools in the centre of every conversation.
- 0:45On one side there are ordinary people who are showing the truth of the schools through their phone cameras.
- 0:50And on the other hand, the entire government system is ready to do everything to hide the truth.
- 1:12The result of all this is that in the last few weeks, the political needle of the country has come to education by roaming around with useless issues.
- 1:19The Hindu-Muslim politics has failed and the country that was taught to stay silent in the past 12 years,
- 1:26that country is now speaking out and its only demand is to fix our children's schools.
- 1:37Before moving forward, I would like to tell you that this Sunday at 7pm I am coming live in front of you in the AI Masterclass.
- 1:43This is a 3 hour live workshop where I teach you 30 most important AI tools from zero.
- 1:49Whether you are a student, a job or a business.
- 1:52Here I will teach you to make songs, animated videos, presentations and even websites.
- 1:59And I will teach you how to make a fast test.
- 2:01And all this in the same language and style as I am talking to you right now.
- 2:03This is the fastest and most affordable way to upskill yourself in the field of AI
- 2:07because its cost is as much as two movie tickets.
- 2:09And if you can't join live, you can watch the recording for the next seven days.
- 2:13Don't delay, there is very little time left and more than 1.5 lakh people have taken advantage of it.
- 2:18So you can quickly go and join by clicking on the link in the description and pinned comment given below.
- 2:23Hello, the whole credit goes to the Cockroach Janta Party.
- 2:28The Cockroach Janta Party officially started the School Theak Karo campaign on 15 August.
- 2:34But before that, the children of Gen Alpha had already launched this campaign.
- 2:39Inspired by the protest of Jantar Mantar, students from many states started to take to the streets in July.
- 2:45Like in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, 1500 students of Sarvodaya Inter College protested against
- 2:50bad fan, broken desks and dirty toilets.
- 2:54In Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, students protested in the same way.
- 2:59In Rajasthan, many places, students locked schools even when there were no teachers.
- 3:04We have locked all the schools, 2nd, 4th, 3rd, L1, L2, all the teachers.
- 3:08Otherwise, the school will be locked.
- 3:10And in Jaipur, students with hearing and speech disabilities protested.
- 3:15They are very worried about the government, teachers and principals.
- 3:19They can't speak but they are tired of saying that their washrooms are bad.
- 3:25But by this point, all this anger was gone.
- 3:28CJP has shown a way to this anger.
- 3:31On 10th August, CJP founder Abhijeet Deepke posted a video saying that
- 3:35even after 80 years of independence, there is no water or washrooms in the schools of villages.
- 3:40A new parliament has been formed, a new PM house has been formed but schools have not been formed.
- 3:44In the last 80 years, we haven't done a single thing on the schools in the villages.
- 3:49We have created a new parliament, a new PM house.
- 3:52So why couldn't we create new schools in our village?
- 3:54After this, it was said that Abhijit announced that from 15 August,
- 3:58officially started the School Theek Karo campaign.
- 4:01He appealed to parents to be involved in this campaign.
- 4:04Because the schooling of your children should be good,
- 4:07it is your fundamental right,
- 4:09your children have a fundamental right.
- 4:11And in direct words from political parties,
- 4:13he said that if you want votes,
- 4:15then fix the schools of the villages.
- 4:17If these people want our votes,
- 4:19then come and fix the government schools in our village.
- 4:21First of all, Abhijeet reached the government school of his own village,
- 4:24Santook Pimpiri, in Hingoli, Maharashtra.
- 4:27The school windows were broken and the broken windows were covered by Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's posters and bags.
- 4:34The toilet was so dirty that it looked like it had not been cleaned for years.
- 4:38And there were no benches for the children and no drinking water.
- 4:41But this was just the beginning.
- 4:43Later, as Abhijit went to other schools in Maharashtra, more bad conditions started to come out.
- 4:48One school's kitchen was completely black.
- 4:51Water was dripping from the roof.
- 4:52There were spider webs and food was being cooked on a stove.
- 4:55The government claims that the cylinder is made of light but in reality it is made of firewood.
- 5:01One school's washroom was so broken that its door was broken and it was not even water.
- 5:09Watch this video. It was difficult to tell whether this is a classroom or a garbage dump.
- 5:14Slowly these videos started going viral on social media and when the government was insulted by this,
- 5:19he started to fix the school lights and food plates before Abhijeet's inspection.
- 5:25Did they fix the lights and food plates before Abhijeet's inspection?
- 5:38In many places, he started to bring the children from another school to hide the truth before Abhijeet's arrival.
- 5:43before coming to the school.
- 5:57In your school?
- 5:58This is not your school?
- 6:04Imagine how strange this is.
- 6:06They are bringing the kids from another school here.
- 6:08But this was not just the story of Maharashtra.
- 6:10The rest of the CJP people started going to other states' schools.
- 6:13A room was dropped in the primary school of Siddharth Nagar in Uttar Pradesh.
- 6:17There were cracks in the walls.
- 6:18The girls' washroom door was broken.
- 6:21And tap and water were both missing in the hand wash platform.
- 6:25Students started to promote this initiative in some places.
- 6:28For example, in Madhya Pradesh's Murena, a boy himself audited the school of his village.
- 6:32There was no drinking water, the washroom was locked and the playground was a puddle.
- 6:37An open drain was flowing from the school of the Chhatrapati Shambhaji Nagar in Maharashtra.
- 6:45In some places, the condition of the schools was so bad that the lives of the children were in danger.
- 6:49For example, the government school of Mavai in Madhya Pradesh.
- 6:52This looks like a very small school. Its roof is so weak that it can fall anytime and children study under it every day.
- 7:00Do you want to see your children studying in such a place?
- 7:03There are such cracks in the pillars and roof of a school in Jharkhand.
- 7:11In the state of Rajasthan, a school's roof really fell. After that, CJP's Ashutosh Ranka had to sit on the roof.
- 7:18No wings were running in the schools of Asam's Noyapur and the roof was broken.
- 7:22CJP's team also audited 16-17 schools in Haryana, where there were broken benches.
- 7:28So there was a school that used to turn into a pond in every rain.
- 7:32The good thing is that people have started auditing themselves.
- 7:35If you search on Instagram, hashtag school theek karo, you will find thousands of videos.
- 7:39And most of these videos have been made by ordinary people in their schools.
- 7:44I would also like to tell you, go to the schools around you and highlight their conditions.
- 7:49Share videos on social media.
- 7:51After verifying all these videos, CJP volunteers gathered on a website.
- 7:56Where 164 schools audit reports have been verified
- 8:00You can go to this website and see the condition of these schools
- 8:03And it is not that it is happening only in BJP ruled states
- 8:05On this website, 164 out of the 164, Congress-led,
- 8:084 in Karnataka, 3 in Telangana and 4 in Jharkhand, the government of JMM Congress,
- 8:13have also had a verified audit of 4 schools
- 8:16So you must have heard a lot of false news
- 8:18That they are targeting only BJP-related states
- 8:20This is not true at all
- 8:22But here another big question arises
- 8:24Are these 160 schools just some bad, bad example?
- 8:28Is it that the other schools in the country are in good condition and only the worst examples are chosen here?
- 8:34The answer to this, has been hidden in the government's accounts.
- 8:37Between 2014 and 2024, that is, only 10 years since Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister,
- 8:44almost 94,000 government schools have been closed across the country.
- 8:50You can verify this data yourself. I put a sources link below every video where you can find all the sources in a PDF at one place.
- 8:58But this data point tells us that every day, if we take the average, more than 25 schools have closed in this country in the last 10 years.
- 9:08And its effect has also been seen directly on enrollment.
- 9:10The number of students studying in government schools between 2022 and 2024 has fallen from 13.62 crores to 12.16 crores.
- 9:19In just 2 years, almost 1.5 crore students have left government schools.
- 9:24And this is happening at a time when the country's population is rising.
- 9:28You might say that they are not shifting to private schools.
- 9:31They are shifting to some extent but not all of them.
- 9:33In these 2 years, the enrollment of private schools has increased by 1.17 crore.
- 9:38That is, those whose parents could afford fees, they went to private schools.
- 9:42But the rest of the students have left the education system.
- 9:46They are not even getting basic education in the country.
- 9:48Most schools have been closed in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
- 9:52In Madhya Pradesh, between 2018 and 2019,
- 9:5522,600 government schools were closed in the last year
- 9:58And in Uttar Pradesh, during this time, 25,000 schools were closed
- 10:01And the condition of the schools that are running is understood by this survey of Rajasthan
- 10:05In this survey that was conducted in August 2025, it was revealed that
- 10:08Out of the 65,308 government schools in the state, 45,365 schools need major repairs
- 10:16That means 7 out of every 10 schools are broken
- 10:18In this survey, more than 83,000 classrooms were completely destroyed
- 10:23And the most shocking fact is that in the entire state of Rajasthan, 611 government schools are such that have no building of their own.
- 10:312000 schools don't even have washrooms and 1000 schools don't have drinking water.
- 10:36And here we are talking about only Rajasthan state.
- 10:38After coming in front of these facts and videos, any government has two ways to escape.
- 10:43The first way is to start fixing schools.
- 10:45And the second way is to silence the people who show schools.
- 10:50By threatening them.
- 10:51And unfortunately, our government chose a different path.
- 10:54On 21st August, 2026, CJP's Ashutosh Ranka and his team went to a school near Jaipur.
- 11:00It was in a farm.
- 11:02Earlier, this village used to have a proper government school.
- 11:04But in July 2025, the building was declared unsafe for children.
- 11:09And after that, this school shifted to a cattle farm.
- 11:12For the last 5 years, applications were being given for the condition of the school.
- 11:16But the government did nothing.
- 11:17Since 2021, they are giving applications,
- 11:20they are giving reports,
- 11:20and there is no one being heard from the government.
- 11:23When the people of the CJP came here to show this to the public,
- 11:26their vehicles were stopped at the village border.
- 11:29And people associated with BJP attacked them.
- 11:32They were thrown stones and beaten with sticks.
- 11:34Can you imagine?
- 11:35In this attack, one volunteer's hand was broken
- 11:37and the other volunteer was severely injured.
- 11:39And Rajasthan's Education Minister Madan Dilawar
- 11:42congratulated these goons for attacking the CJP.
- 11:45The villagers have protected their homes. I congratulate them.
- 11:48You can clearly see here, that these people do not want your children to study in good government schools.
- 11:54After this, the things that the BJP government has done can be understood in just one word
- 12:00And that word is TOOLKIT
- 12:01The same old, made up toolkit, that has been silenced in fear
- 12:05Which has been seen in this country in the last 12 years
- 12:08The first tool kit is FIR
- 12:10In at least eight districts of Uttar Pradesh
- 12:13FIrs have been filed against the people who make videos of schools
- 12:17Like the video made by Merit has shown the toilet, the unsafe drinking water and the snake-like ground
- 12:23As soon as this video went viral, Ayaan was arrested.
- 12:26In Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, Rajat Singh showed dirty schools.
- 12:30So, they filed an FIR on him.
- 12:32In the FIR, trespassing was imposed.
- 12:34Whereas, there was no boundary in the school.
- 12:36Which could be trespassed.
- 12:38In Latur, Maharashtra, Abhijeet Deepke himself filed an FIR.
- 12:42And the accusation was that he entered the school without permission.
- 12:45He blocked the school and defamed the school.
- 12:47That is, the person who is trying to fix the schools here, tell him that he is defaming the schools.
- 12:52The second tool kit is the ban.
- 12:55In Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai, restrictions have been imposed on going to schools without permission.
- 13:01And in Rajasthan, it has been said that the people who break the order will be imposed with the POXO Act.
- 13:07But in response to this, a creator named Ashok Shera has found a school that has no building.
- 13:12And they went there and said that if there is no building, then from where will they take permission to enter the building?
- 13:17If I want to enter Bhawan, then first I had to get permission. But I didn't see Bhawan here.
- 13:22This school is running in a hut and here the children study sitting on the sand.
- 13:27The third most dangerous weapon of this toolkit is to send their goons and attack.
- 13:31Like in West Bengal's Bangkuda, BJP goons attacked CJP's volunteer Abdul Hafiz and his father.
- 13:38This attack was done with blades and sharp weapons
- 13:40and in this attack
- 13:42their father died too
- 13:44Think about it, a man's life
- 13:46was lost only because his son
- 13:48had made a video of a government school
- 13:50and he was the one who
- 13:53He wanted to do better.
- 13:54My father was a chalwas.
- 13:56Why were we doing this?
- 13:57To fix the school?
- 13:58Instead of compensations,
- 14:00a government should make a world-class school.
- 14:03In my father's name.
- 14:04All these news will not be shown to you by mainstream media.
- 14:07Because it is in the hands of the government.
- 14:10After seeing so many FIRs, so many restrictions and violence,
- 14:13you might think that this campaign must have been a complete flop.
- 14:16But on the ground,
- 14:18it has started to go the other way.
- 14:20The first change came from the same place where the campaign started.
- 14:23In Santookh Pimpri, in just 3 days, the school's benches were opened.
- 14:27And for the first time, computers were also installed in the school.
- 14:29A principal who used to come to school in a state of intoxication, was suspended.
- 14:33The principal has been suspended.
- 14:35Similarly, in Uttar Pradesh's Siddhant Nagar, the repair work started in just 3 days.
- 14:40And the girls' washroom had a door.
- 14:42The washroom was cleaned.
- 14:44The government was under so much pressure that on 20 August,
- 14:46UP's education department issued a checklist of 14 points for about 40,000 primary and secondary schools.
- 14:52In which drinking water, toilets for boys and girls, electricity, safety, blackboards and mess food quality were included.
- 15:01And the school in Tabela, which I talked about in the beginning of the video,
- 15:04the good news is that the construction of that school has been announced.
- 15:08That its work will start from 1st September.
- 15:10But even better news is that on 24th August, the same Rajasthan government,
- 15:14whose state had been stoned by CJP volunteers and was threatening to implement the POCSO Act,
- 15:19has come up with a school infrastructure roadmap of around Rs 12,500 crore for 3 years.
- 15:25According to this plan, more than 3,500 new school buildings will be built,
- 15:2922,500 schools will be renovated and 13,600 toilet complexes will be built.
- 15:34And more than 80,000 new classrooms will be built.
- 15:38The number of classrooms in the school survey
- 15:40that were found in a mess
- 15:42the same number of classrooms
- 15:44the government has announced to build
- 15:46This means that the government knew everything
- 15:48even the number of broken classrooms
- 15:50The only thing missing is
- 15:52And that will was born in just 10 days by thousands of phone cameras.
- 15:58By seeing all this, you should realize your own strength.
- 16:02How much strength do you people have?
- 16:04It's just a phone camera's time to pick up.
- 16:06Have the courage to pick up your voice and see how fast change is coming in the country.
- 16:11This government believed that the people can always be distracted from the real issues.
- 16:15By talking nonsense, by picking up the issues of Hindu-Muslims and using their own media.
- 16:20But this campaign has convinced people that the people have the real power.
- 16:24You are the people who run the government.
- 16:26This is a revolution that the country has been waiting for years.
- 16:29And the next part of this story is not in the hands of any politician or any party.
- 16:33But in the hands of you people.
- 16:35Because the camera is in your pocket too.
- 16:37There is a government school in your village, in your neighborhood too.
- 16:40So next time when you pass in front of it, then wait for 5 minutes and look inside.
- 16:46If everything is fine there, then the country should also know this.
- 16:48And if something is broken there, then make a video of it and post it on Instagram, Twitter or YouTube with the hashtag school theek karo.
- 16:56Because all the schools that this campaign has fixed so far, they all started with a video like this.
- 17:02This is a computer, you have to play with it and learn.
- 17:07Okay?
- 17:08I'll miss you guys.
- 17:09I'll miss you guys.
- 17:10Remember, the country where the truth is being revealed,
- 17:13a school that is in a tabela cannot be kept hidden for long.
- 17:21And along with schools, focus on your own upskilling too.
- 17:24Don't forget to join the AI Masterclass which is going to be on this Sunday at 7pm.

- 17:30And if you want to know the backstory of how this whole revolution started,
