CJP demands accountability over South Delhi hostel collapse
The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has demanded accountability and a safety audit of all paying guest (PG) hostels in Delhi after a five-storey hostel building collapsed in the city’s Satya Niketan area, leaving five dead and several trapped.
CJP founder and convenor Abhijeet Dipke criticised the government’s priorities over educational infrastructure, saying students were being forced to live and study in unsafe conditions even as political establishments received attention and resourcesA CJP team led by its organisation co-in-charge and north zone lead Deepak Baliyan and national joint secretary Balakrishna Shukla reached the collapse site near Delhi University’s South Campus and joined residents and emergency personnel in the rescue efforts.
Dipke, in a post on X, questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over student safety, pointing out that Modi visited Delhi University a day earlier and invoked the term “dimagi naxal” in his political speech, but spoke little about the condition of educational infrastructure.
Yesterday, the PM visited DU, gave a political speech and even invoked the term “Dimagi Naxal,” while speaking very little about the state of our educational infrastructure.

“Today, a hostel building in South Campus has collapsed, with students feared trapped under the debrisThe number of casualties is still unknown,” Dipke said.
“How long must students be made to pay the price for failing infrastructure?” he asked, demanding safe classrooms, hostels, and basic dignity for students.
“Adivasi students are dying in tribal belts due to a lack of care and support, and even students studying in the national capital are not safe,” Dipke said.
“Is that really too much to ask?” he said, asking whether the prime minister would visit DU again and explain how the collapse happened.
