Advani, who was dropped from BJP's powerful Parliamentary Board in August, held meeting with the sect chief Baba Gurinder Singh Dhillon early this morning. He later visited Langar (community kitchen) where he spent 20 minutes with Dhillon to see the arrangement for cooking food.
He reached the 'satsang' venue at around 9 AM and listened to satsang of sect chief for nearly 90 minutes. After the satsang, he had lunch with Dhillon and again spent more than an hour with him.
As the party fell short of an absolute majority in the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly, he said it would be better "if the old relationship is revived", adding that he was disappointed when the Shiv Sena and BJP decided to contest polls separately.
Advani had arrived here last evening and spent the night at the Dera.
