"EVM kharab nahin hai, balki inka dimag kharab hai," he taunted, while talking to the media after presiding over a meeting of the District Development, Coordination and Monitoring Committee meeting at the Mini Secretariat here today.

Gurjar said wherever they (Congress) lose, they put the blame on EVMs, adding that no one had questioned the EVMs after the win of five Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha and 37 MLAs in the Assembly poll.

Regarding the farmers' agitation, Gurjar said the BJP government had always given priority to the issues of farmers as several schemes had been implemented for their welfare in the past 10 years by the Modi government.
