The '''Uttarakhand Kranti Dal''' ([[translation]]: '''Uttarakhand Revolutionary Party'''; {{small|abbr.}} '''UKD'''), is a registered unrecognised regional [[political party]] in [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]]. It bills itself as the only regional party of the Uttarakhand in contrast to the national parties that dominate the state's politics.

In the present [[Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly]], elected in 2017, it does not have any member as compared with one member in the previous 2012, three members in 2007 and four members in 2002 assembly elections of the state.<ref>[[2017 Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly election]]</ref>

==History==
{{main|Uttarakhand movement}}

The UKD was established on 26 July 1979 by [[Bipin Chandra Tripathi]], Prof. [[Devi Datt Pant]], [[Indramani Badoni]]
and [[Kashi Singh Airy]] at [[Nanital]] to fight for a separate state composed of the hill districts of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. The founding convention was chaired by Prof. Devi Datt Pant, former vice-chancellor of [[Kumaon University]]. Under the young leadership of Kashi Singh Airy who took the charge of struggle and public agitation and the aim was finally achieved, when the separate ''Uttaranchal'' state was formed on 9 November 2000, later renamed [[Uttarakhand]] in 2007. However, in the first-ever state assembly elections in 2002, the party won only four out of 70 seats and was outmaneuvered by the [[Indian National Congress]] and [[Bharatiya Janata Party]], both despite being latecomers to the Uttarakhand statehood movement, succeeded in capturing its momentum for electoral gain and formed governments in the state {{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}

==Leadership==
The party's current face is [[Kashi Singh Airy]], a prominent leader of the Uttarakhand statehood movement and a senior leader of Uttarakhand Kranti Dal, who was elected for [[Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly]] three times (1985–1989, 1989–1991, 1993–1996) from [[Didihat (Uttarakhand Assembly constituency)|Didihat]] and was elected for first [[Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly]]. [[Diwakar Bhatt]] is the current president of the UKD, with Kashi Singh Airy, [[B. D. Raturi]], [[Trivendra Singh Panwar]], Dr. [[Narayan Singh Jantwal]] and [[Pushpesh Tripathi]] as honorary presidents, the working president of the party is [[Harish Pathak]] along with former working president [[Anand Prakash Juyal]]—senior statehood activists and prominent faces of Uttarakhand statehood movement who fought from the forefront in the creation of Uttarakhand state. [[Jaswant Singh Bisht]] was the first elected [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] of the party from [[Ranikhet (Uttarakhand Assembly constituency)|Ranikhet]] constituency. Other personalities include late [[Indramani Badoni]], late [[Devi Datt Pant]] and late [[Bipin Chandra Tripathi]] who were among the founding members and long time agitators for the Uttarakhand statehood movement.

== Factionalism and decline ==
{{Main|3rd Uttarakhand Assembly}}
In the [[2012 Uttarakhand Legislative Assembly election|2012 Uttarakhand Assembly election]], Uttarakhand Kranti Dal contested as '''Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (P)''' led by then party president [[Trivendra Singh Panwar]]. The original party name and the election symbol (chair) was frozen by the [[Election Commission of India]] following the factionalism and leadership dispute within the party that led to its breakup.
The splinter group '''Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (D)''' led by former [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] and [[Uttarakhand Council of Ministers|Cabinet Minister]] in the [[First Khanduri ministry|Khanduri government]] and later [[Pokhriyal ministry|Pokhriyal government]], [[Diwakar Bhatt]] broke away from the UKD with his supporters claiming the original party leadership.
[[Pritam Singh Panwar]] was the only winning candidate of the party in the 2012 Assembly election, who ran under the UKD(P) banner.

Uttarakhand Kranti Dal's original name and party symbol were restored in 2017 with the merger of both groups.

The party's performance in various assembly and parliamentary elections has been on a consistent decline. The main reasons cited for UKD's decline in the politics of Uttarakhand are; inner factionalism, loss of voter base to other parties and frequent switching for power share between the BJP and Congress governments, which is often viewed negatively as political opportunism.
