New Delhi, June 4: The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) on Thursday said the reported exposure of JEE (Advanced) 2026 candidate data due to a cloud storage configuration issue in the results portal showed how “incompetent” people were running the country’s education system and digital infrastructure.
The leaders of the campaign, which began on social media and went on to take a life of its own, also appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately sack Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, saying he had failed to ensure accountability in the education sector.
Addressing a press conference here, CJP leaders said the incident had raised fresh concerns about the security of student data and the government’s handling of examination systems.
CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said the exposure of candidate information reflected the poor state of cybersecurity safeguards.
He also said public institutions required individuals with scientific temper and technical competence. (PTI)
