Karnataka Kranti Ranga (Karnataka Revolutionary Front[1]), also known as the Kannada Kranti Ranga[2] was a regional political party in Karnataka, India. KKR was formed by Devaraj Urs in 1979, as a split from the Indian National Congress.[2] It subsequently became part of what was called the Congress (Urs) and finally merged with the Janata Party.[citation needed]
