1967 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election

The 1967 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election was held in March 1967 to elect the members of the 5th Legislative Assembly of Rajasthan, India. These elections were significant as they marked a period of political realignment in the state, following a series of paradigm shifts in the national political landscape. The Indian National Congress (INC), which had dominated the state's politics since its inception, faced stiff competition from the Bharatiya Jana Sangh (BJS) and other regional parties. The election resulted in a hung assembly, with the INC emerging as the largest party but lacking an overall majority. This led to the formation of a coalition government, reflecting the increasing fragmentation of party support in the state. The election outcome set the stage for subsequent political developments in Rajasthan, influencing the trajectory of state politics in the years to come.
