New Delhi, Oct. 19 -- Former BJP leader and the father of noted Bollywood singer Jubin Nautiyal -- Ramsharan Nautiyal -- joined the Congress on Monday.
Ramsharan Nautiyal was inducted into the party in the presence of AICC in-charge of Uttarakhand Kumari Selja, Uttarakhand Congress chief Ganesh Godiyal and Leader of Opposition in the Uttarakhand Assembly Yashpal Arya here.
Nautiyal is the father of the renowned Bollywood singer Jubin Nautiyal.
Ramsharan Nautiyal has been associated with the Congress in the past as well; he left the party about 12 years ago to join the BJP.
Welcoming Nautiyal back into the Congress, Selja said an old associate had returned home.
"Our old associate, Ramsharan Nautiyal, felt stifled within the BJP. He became disillusioned with the environment and the way things functioned there. Ramsharan Nautiyal is now rejoining the Congress party; I welcome him," she said at a press conference.
