1977 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election

The 1977 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election was held on January 29, 1977, to elect the members of the 6th Legislative Assembly of Rajasthan, India. This election marked a significant political shift following the Emergency period (1975–1977) imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, during which civil liberties were suspended. The Janata Party emerged as a dominant political force, contesting against the Indian National Congress, which had ruled the state prior to the election. The Janata Party, largely formed from various opposition groups, capitalized on widespread public discontent and won a substantial majority, signaling a historic turning point in India's political landscape. This election was pivotal in restoring democracy at the state level and reshaping the political dynamics in Rajasthan.
