Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today met Radha Soami sect chief Gurinder Singh Dhillon at Beas in a bid to broaden AAP's base in the state where assembly polls are slated early next year and the sect has a considerable following.

Kejriwal met Dhillon at Dera Radha Soami, also known as Dera Baba Jaimal Singh, and spent over 30 minutes with him.

Kejriwal took blessings from the sect chief and discussed the political scenario of Punjab in view of the upcoming assembly elections, an AAP spokesman said.

AAP Punjab convener Gurpreet Ghuggi and MP from Sangoor Bhagwant Manna were also accompanying Kejriwal.
 

The Delhi Chief Minister had come to Punjab to attend Aggarwal community gathering in Jalandhar.

Earlier, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had also met the Radha Soami sect chief at Beas in March this year.

BJP leader L K Advani had also visited Beas in 2014 and attended the morning discourse of the sect head.
