The '''Indian National Congress (U)''' was a breakaway faction of the [[Indira Gandhi]]-led [[Congress (I)]], formed in July 1979 by [[D. Devaraj Urs]], the then [[Chief Minister of Karnataka]]. Urs' explanation of the split was the return of Indira's son [[Sanjay Gandhi]] into the party fold.{{Citation needed|date=August 2025}} Urs took with him many legislators from [[Karnataka]], [[Kerala]], [[Maharashtra]] and [[Goa]] including future [[Union Minister]]s and [[Chief Minister]]s, [[Yashwantrao Chavan]], [[Dev Kant Baruah]], [[Kasu Brahmananda Reddy]], [[A.K. Antony]], [[Sharad Pawar]], [[Sarat Chandra Sinha]], [[Priyaranjan Das Munshi]] and [[K. P. Unnikrishnan]].<br />
<br />
Subsequently, D. Devaraj Urs joined [[Janata Party]]; Yashwantrao Chavan, Brahmananda Reddy, and Chidambaram Subramaniam joined [[Congress (Indira)]]; and [[A. K. Antony]] split from Congress (U) to form [[Congress (A)]] in [[Kerala]]. When Sharad Pawar took over the party presidency in October 1981, the name of the party was changed to [[Indian Congress (Socialist)]].<ref>Andersen, Walter K..
