Ramsharan Nautiyal, father of singer Jubin Nautiyal, joined the Congress party on Monday. Ramsharan Nautiyal had contested the 2022 Uttarakhand Assembly elections from the Chakrata constituency on a BJP ticket, but lost to Congress candidate Pritam Singh. Earlier this month, Nautiyal resigned from the BJP, alleging that he had been humiliated by senior leaders in the party.
