Democratic Indira Congress (Karunakaran)

Democratic Indira Congress (Karunakaran) (DIC(K)) was a political party in Kerala, India.

DIC(K) was founded at a meeting in Thrissur by the K. Karunakuran faction of the Indian National Congress on 1 May 2005.

Initially it was called National Congress (Indira), but the name was changed DIC(K) for registration purposes in August of the same year.

This acceptance has all but guaranteed DIC(K)'s return to power as the unpopular ruling combine is likely to lose badly in the assembly elections, which are due shortly.

[2] Later, DIC decided to merge with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Sharad Pawar.
