1967 Fourth general elections held in Uttar Pradesh. The Indian National Congress won the most seats as well as the largest share of the popular vote. But it could not secure enough seats for a majority and so a coalition of other parties formed the government with Charan Singh as the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.{{cite web |url=http://uplegisassembly.gov.in/CHIEF%20MINISTERS.HTM |title=Chief Ministers |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130812234844/http://uplegisassembly.gov.in/CHIEF%20MINISTERS.HTM |archive-date=12 August 2013 |publisher=Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly |access-date=16 January 2022}}{{Cite journal |last=Rai |first=V.
