Question

how did the 1967 election change the discourse of Indian politics?​

Answer 1

The March 1967 general elections in India was perhaps the last time when the people of our nation voted to elect the Union as well as the State Governments simultaneously. The Congress party, even while retaining power at the Centre (with a reduced strength in the Lok Sabha) was voted out in nine states. Uttar Pradesh, where the Congress had managed a majority in the election also slipped out of its hold, within a month, when Charan Singh left the party with a chunk of MLAs to become Chief Minister of a non-Congress coalition.
