Singer Jubin Nautiyal’s father Ramsharan rejoins Congress
The Story in Brief
Ramsharan Nautiyal, father of Bollywood singer Jubin Nautiyal, joined the Congress party on Monday (19 October 2026) in New Delhi, days after quitting the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was inducted at the AICC office in the presence of Uttarakhand Congress in-charge Kumari Selja, state party chief Ganesh Godiyal and Leader of Opposition Yashpal Arya.
Nautiyal was earlier with the Congress until 2014, when he switched to the BJP. He contested the 2022 Uttarakhand Assembly election from Chakrata on a BJP ticket but lost. He had indicated a lack of respect within the BJP, which he said drove his departure. Selja said Nautiyal felt stifled in the BJP and welcomed him back as an old associate. The switch comes ahead of assembly polls in early 2027.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources present the same straight news-agency report of Ramsharan Nautiyal's party switch, with no discernible slant. Each quotes Congress leaders welcoming him and notes his earlier BJP tenure and electoral defeat in 2022. The coverage is uniform wire-style reporting. The political significance lies in the timing: the move comes months before the 2027 Uttarakhand elections, and the Congress leadership is framing it as a boost for the party in the state.
