Quoting experts, Gandhi said 'random testing is the key to beating the virus'.
India has to scale up COVID-19 testing from the current 40,000 to one lakh tests per day, he said.
'Experts agree that mass random testing is the key to beating Corona. In India, a bottle neck (sic) is stopping us from scaling testing from the current 40,000 per day to 1 lakh tests a day, for which test kits are already in stock.
'[The] PM needs to act fast and clear the bottleneck,' Gandhi said on Twitter.
The Congress has been urging the government to increase random testing in the country.
