New Delhi, Sept 30: The Congress has failed as opposition as it has remained disconnected with the people on the ground, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Saturday while interacting with the BJP’s booth level workers.

Addressing booth workers from Bilaspur, Basti, Chittorgarh, Dhanbad and Mandsaur via NamoApp, Mr. Modi said the Congress’ tenure at the centre was mired in corruption.

“People with no vision today have become television, which always keeps on playing a comedy,” Mr. Modi said targeting the Congress leadership.
