Sources said senior leaders, including state working president Bharat Bhushan Ashu, met Punjab affairs in-charge and former Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel in Delhi to air their grievances. The meeting, the sources said, was triggered by a show-cause notice issued to former Faridkot MLA and state party vice-president Khushaldeep Dhillon for allegedly breaching party discipline during a TV interview.
