Quoting a former employee, the news article alleged that PM CARES Ventilator Maker AgVa has "fudged" software in order to hide "poor performance". Rahul's tweet comes soon after Congress asked four specific questions to the Centre, mostly revolving around the makers, the tendering process and price.
