BJP chief Amit Shah on Saturday refused to comment on the allegation made by BSP chief Mayawati that Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) were "managed" to favour his party's win.

"I can understand the mental condition of Mayawati. But I will not comment on her remarks," Shah said when asked about the allegations.

Terming the Uttar Pradesh election results as "very surprising", the Bahujan Samaj Party chief on Saturday had alleged that EVMs were "managed" to favour the Bharatiya Janata Party.

She also said that her party has asked the Election Commission to cancel the results in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
