CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke questioned PM Modi over student safety and educational infrastructure after a five-storey hostel collapsed in Delhi’s Satya Niketan, killing three. He sought accountability over unsafe hostels and classrooms, while residents flagged concerns about other buildings housing students.
Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over student safety and the state of educational infrastructure after a five-storey hostel building collapsed in south Delhi’s Satya Niketan area, leaving three people dead and several others feared trapped.
Dipke said students in tribal areas were dying due to inadequate care and support, while students in the national capital were also facing safety concerns.
Dipke Questions Modi Over Educational Infrastructure
In a post on X, Dipke said Modi had visited Delhi University a day earlier and delivered a political speech in which he invoked the term “dimagi naxal”, but had little to say about the condition of educational infrastructure in the country.
“Today, a hostel building in South Campus has collapsed, with students feared trapped under the debris. The number of casualties is still unknown,” he said.
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.

Rescue operations were underway at the building, identified as Hostel Daze, and nine people had been pulled from the debris. Locals said some of those trapped had made phone calls seeking help.
“How long must students be made to pay the price for failing infrastructure?” Dipke asked.
He said students in tribal areas lacked adequate care and support, while those studying in the national capital also faced safety risks.
“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,” he said, demanding safe classrooms, safe hostels and basic dignity for students.
“Is that really too much to ask?” Dipke said, asking whether the Prime Minister would visit DU again and explain how the building collapsed.
Repair Work Reportedly Underway In Basement
According to locals, the building had around 15 rooms, with two to three students staying in each room. Construction or repair work was reportedly underway in the basement.
