BJP president Amit Shah's scheduled meeting with singer Lata Mangeshkar as part of the party's "contact for support" campaign was cancelled as she was down with food poisoning.
Mr Mangeshkar tweeted in Hindi that she had spoken to Mr Shah over telephone and expressed her inability to meet him since she had been suffering from food poisoning. She also requested that they can meet during his next visit to Mumbai.
