An election was held in 1969 to elect members to the Bihar Legislative Assembly, the lower house of the legislature of the Indian state of Bihar. After the elections, the Congress emerged as the largest party, and Harihar Singh was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Bihar. Three parties contested in a 'Triple Alliance'; the Loktantrik Congress Dal, the Praja Socialist Party and the Samyukta Socialist Party. The Triple Alliance divided 295 out of 318 constituencies between them, assigning 23 seats to the Communist Party of India.[1]
1st Government
The Indian National Congress didn't win enough seats for an absolute majority and formed an alliance with 5 other parties, including the Janata Party, the Bharatiya Kranti Dal, the Bihar Prant Hul Jharkhand, the Shoshit Dal, the Swatantra Party and some Independents.[2] However, it lost majority when Shoshit Dal withdrew support primarily on allegations on Janata Party head Kamakhya Narain Singh.
2nd Government
Bhola Paswan shastri, the leader of the opposition in the Assembly, of Loktantrik Congress Dal became CM, with support of SSP, PSP, CPI, Jan sangh, Loktantrik congress Dal, Shoshit Dal. Ministry proved to be the shortestever government in Bihar. Nine days after Its Installation, the third SVD Ministry resigned following the withdrawal of support by the Jan sangh, which put forward the view that no defector, as a matter of principle, be appointed Minister.[3]
3rd Government
During President rule, in 1969, Congress split into Congress(O)- 50 MLAs and Congress(R) - 60 MLAs. Daroga Prasad Rai of Congress(R) became CM with support of PSP, CPI, Hul Jharkhand, Shoshit Dal and Bhartiya Kranti Dal. He constituted the Mungerilal commission, which later recommended OBC Reservation. His Ministry was dominated by the Backward castes. It fell after 10 months due to PSP and Shoshit Dal rebels.[4]
4th Government
The new SVD, which consisted of SSP, rebel PSP, Jan sangh, Congress (O), Janata party, BKD, swatantra party, factions of the jharkhand Party, Shoshit Dal and Hul jharkhand, formed government under Karpoori Thakur of SSP as CM for 6 months.[5]
5th Government
Bhola Paswan shastri once became CM, with support of Congress(R), shoshit Dal, Jharkhand party, PSP and CPI, but Congress(R) withdrew support by end of Dec 1971.[3]
