NDTV
The Congress leader's swipe comes amid a row over reports suggesting ventilators bought by the centre with PM CARES fund are unused because of technical glitches
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Monday compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ventilators - essential medical equipment for Covid patients - bought by the PM CARES fund, saying both were "overly false propaganda", had "failed to do their job" and were "difficult to find, when needed". "Ventilators bought by PM CARES and the Prime Minister have many similarities. Both are full of false propaganda, both have failed to do their jobs and, in times of need, both are difficult to find," Mr Gandhi tweeted in Hindi. The Congress leader's swipe comes amid a row over reports suggesting ventilators bought by the centre with PM CARES fund and supplied to a state-run hospital in Punjab's Faridkot have been left unused because of technical glitches. The centre has hit back at these reports, calling them "unfounded" and alleging it is the lack of infrastructure at the Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital that is to blame.
