1967 Indian Rajya Sabha elections

The 1967 Indian Rajya Sabha elections were held in various states across India to fill the vacancies in the upper house of Parliament, the Rajya Sabha. Conducted between January and March 1967, these elections marked a significant shift in the political landscape at both the national and state levels. The elections resulted in a notable gain for non-Congress parties, reflecting the growing political diversity and regional aspirations within the country. The Indian National Congress, which had previously dominated the Rajya Sabha, faced challenges from emerging opposition parties. The elections were crucial in shaping subsequent legislative agendas and highlighted the evolving nature of Indian democracy during a period of social and political change.
