India Delayed The Purchase Of Testing Kits, Now Critically Short Of Them: Rahul Gandhi

Mumbai: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Tuesday that mass testing is important to fight coronovirus but test kits are lacking in India.

“India delayed the purchase of testing kits and is now critically short of them. With just 149 tests per million Indians, we are now in the company of Laos (157), Niger (182) & Honduras (162). Mass testing is the key to fighting the virus. At present we are nowhere in the game,” Rahul Gandhi tweeted.
