1967 Bihar Legislative Assembly election

The 1967 Bihar Legislative Assembly election was held in February 1967 to elect members of the 6th Bihar Legislative Assembly. This election marked a significant political shift in the state, witnessing the emergence of a coalition of non-Congress parties that challenged the Indian National Congress, which had dominated the state's politics since independence. The election results led to a fragmented assembly with no party securing an outright majority, prompting the formation of a coalition government. Key issues during the election included agrarian reforms, social justice, and regional development. The outcome reflected growing discontent with the Congress's governance and set the stage for the subsequent political realignments in Bihar.
