Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has labelled CUET technical glitches as "sheer incompetence"

"The Common University Entrance Test had to be cancelled in 13 centres today affecting close to 8700 aspirants. This has been happening repeatedly under the excuse of 'unavoidable technical glitches'. The real reason is sheer incompetence and lack of preparation by Modi Sarkar," the MP tweeted.
