The Fourth Orissa Legislative Assembly was convened after the 1967 Orissa Legislative Assembly election.[1]
Prior to election, All India Ganatantra Parishad merged with Swatantra Party and Harekrushna Mahatab left Congress to form Orissa Jana Congress. Both Swatantra and Jana Congress Party formed a post poll Coalition Government with Shri R. N. Singh Deo as the Chief Minister on 8 March 1967. Due to difference between the parties, the Coalition Government collapsed on the 9th January 1971. Subsequently, President's Rule was imposed and early election was called.[2]
