Your portal is absolutely not working, it's pathetic . Either you improve on your infrastructure or privatize the entire system. — Anirban Das Majumder (@dmanirban) December 29, 2021

Trying to e-verify the nomination, the page either gets hung-up or shows an error message, spent 5 hours since yesterday but no success. This is ridiculous handling of the website. — Aditya Kulkarni (@AdityaKulkarni3) December 30, 2021

The website is slow to load, frequent "object error", "service unavailable", after filling nomination issues with submit. The district & branch name resets when we click save and it reloads asking to upload photo...(1/n) — Parameswaran (@paramOneness) December 30, 2021

Strength is in acknowledging we have a problem. So much of time waste. Now site is completely not reachable. — Tony Tank (@DesiGemHunter) December 29, 2021
