Government formation 1st Government Parties like Samyukt Socialist Party, Jan Sangh, CPI, Jan Kranti Dal and Praja Socialist together formed the government. Although the second largest party after Congress was the Samyukt Socialist Party and its leader Karpoori Thakur had a stake in the post of Chief Minister, but other parties were not ready.In such a situation, all the parties agreed on the name of Mahamaya Prasad Sinha of Jan Kranti Dal(of Kamakhya Narain Singh), who became the Chief Minister of Bihar in March 1967, while Karpoori Thakur became the Deputy Chief Minister. However, the government couldn't last even for a year.2020-11-09 मुख्यमंत्री: मंडल कमीशन वाले बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री बीपी मंडल की पूरी कहानी https://www.thelallantop.com/lallankhas/post/mukhyamantri-complete-story-of-bindeshwari-prasad-mandal-who-become-chief-minister-of-bihar-for-51-days 2024-04-12 The Lallantop hi 2nd Government Opposition to the caste composition of the ministry led to some members of the samyukt socialist party, provoked by Health minister BP Mandal(who was forced to resign by Ram Manohar Lohia), join hands with the congress to form new government headed by first backward chief minister BP Mandal, which lasted just 50 days.2020-11-09 मुख्यमंत्री: मंडल कमीशन वाले बिहार के मुख्यमंत्री बीपी मंडल की पूरी कहानी https://www.thelallantop.com/lallankhas/post/mukhyamantri-complete-story-of-bindeshwari-prasad-mandal-who-become-chief-minister-of-bihar-for-51-days 2024-04-12 The Lallantop hi 3rd Government However, there was a tussle going on within the Congress on the issue of supporting the Mandal government. Angered by this decision of the party, 17 MLAs rebelled under the leadership of former Chief Minister Binodanand Jha, leader of the anti-KB Sahay group. Formed a separate faction in the name of Loktrantik Congress and withdrew support from the Mandal government. Only one month old BP Mandal government had to resign and in the new manipulation, MLA of this Loktrantik Congress camp, Bhola Paswan Shastri became first Dalit chief minister with the help of opposition MLAs. Even his ministry lasted for just 4 months The weakening of previously dominant congress party, rising aspirations of backward classes(forward-backward tussle) and individual greed of leaders was the main reasons for these short lived govertments.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnnA_ua6Lv8 History Of Patliputra Part 2 en 2024-04-12 www.youtube.com Result File:India Bihar Legislative Assembly 1967.svg Indian National Congress 4479460 128 57 Samyukta Socialist Party 2385961 68 New Bharatiya Jana Sangh 1410722 26 23 Praja Socialist Party 942889 18 11 Communist Party of India 935977 24 12 Jan Kranti Dal 451412 13 New Swatantra Party 315184 3 47 Communist Party of India (Marxist) 173656 4 New Republican Party of India 23893 1 New Independents 2419469 33 21 0 4914436 27743190 ECIhttps://old.eci.gov.in/files/file/3889-bihar-1967/ Statistical Report on General Election, 1967 to the Legislative Assembly of Bihar Election Commission of India 29 November 2021 Elected members #ConstituencyReserved for(SC/ST/None)MemberParty1 Dhanaha None Yogendra Shrivastava Praja Socialist Party2 Bagaha SC Narsingh Baitha Indian National Congress3 Ram Nagar None Narayan Vikram Shah Indian National Congress4 Shikarpur SC B.ram Praja Socialist Party5 Sikta None U.
