The PM CARES funded ventilator in the image being promoted by the BJP is a Skanray CV200 model.

The arrows will show you the logos specifying the model (CV200) as well as the Skanray logo (pictured here)

Now, here's a brochure for the Skanray CV200 ventilator allegedly procured through PM CARES.

At the bottom, it states that these are produced for Govt of India Epidemic Emergency Program.

Further, note that Skanray is also a licensed manufacturer for Philips Healthcare

So basically, the original Philips CV200 model ventilator is being produced in India by Skanray - a Mysore based co.

Now, let's check the market price of CV200 ventilator.

On IndiaMart, it's sold at 2.5 lakhs/piece.

This is the market price sans discount - 2.5 lakh

On 13th May, the PMO issued a press release stating that it's releasing 3100 crores from PM CARES Fund.

Of these, it allotted 2000 crores for purchasing 50,000 "Make In India" ventilators.

That comes to 4 lakhs per ventilator.

Therefore, while the market price of the CV200 ventilator is 2.5 lakhs/piece, PM CARES is claiming to spend 2000 crores.

Purchasing 50,000 CV 200 ventilators at market price would cost 1250 crores.

Then where's the remaining 750 crores going?

In the chowkidar's jhola?

This is why the accounts of PM CARES must be made public.

In just the 1st allotment, PM Modi has managed to swindle over 750 crore.

PM CARES fund is worth 10,000+ crores. Probably more.

This is possibly the BIGGEST scam in independent India's history.
