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 of Kamakhya Narain Singh, the Bharatiya Kranti Dal, the Bihar Prant Hul Jharkhand, the Shoshit Dal, the Swatantra Party and some Independents. However, it lost majority when Shoshit Dal withdrew support primarily on allegations on Kamakhya Narain Singh.[2]

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 and sohshit Dal. Ministry proved to be the shortestever government in Bihar. Nine days after Its Installation, the third SVD Ministry resigned following the withdrawl of support by the Jan sangh, which put forward the view that no defector, as a matter of principle, be appointed Minister.

3rd Government

During President rule, 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 and the 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.

4th Government

The new SVD, which consisted of the SSP, the rebel PSP, the Jan sangh, the congress (o), the Janata,the BKD,the swatantra party , factions of the jharkhand Party, Shoshit Dal and Hul jharkhand, formed government under Karpoori Thakur of SSP as CM.

Desertion from the ranks of the SVD parties , especially after Congress(R) sweeping 1971 general election and factionalism and disaidence in his own party were mainly responsible for the fall of the Thakur Ministry.

5th Government

A Progressive vidhayak Dal (PVD) coalition Government headed by Bhola Paswan shastri was sworn in at patna on June 2, 1971, consisted of the 105-member Congress(R), the 25-member CPI and the 12-member PSP, besides the splinter and regional parties like the BKL, jharkhand Party, Hul jharkhand and the Shoshit Dal. It remained in power for 198 days.
