New Delhi, Apr 27: The meeting between Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, which was slated for this evening to discuss seat-sharing for next year's Lok Sabha elections and smoothen rough edges in ties between the two parties, was called off. The meeting failed to take place because of Advani's pre-occupation in Rajasthan where he flagged off BJP's "Parivartan Yatra" which virtually launched the party's campaign for assembly elections.
Mayawati, who was in the capital, had a meeting with Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee to discuss the sugarcane price issue.
