Sources close to Gadkari said on Monday night the cancellation was necessitated since he would be in a huddle with his legal advisors to discuss the possible legal notice to a section of media over carrying on a "villification" campaign against him.

A combative Gadkari earlier in the day threatened to file civil and criminal cases against media houses for defaming him as part of a conspiracy allegedly hatched by the Congress.
