Congress MP from Dewas Sajjan Singh Verma said RSS workers are better than Congress leaders because they work with dedication.

"RSS workers work for their party with dedication, surviving on `chana' (gram), while our leaders don't step out of AC chambers," he said addressing party workers at Neemuch two days ago.
