Note 1 : The Coalition Government of Chief Minister Rajendra Narayan Singh Deo collapsed on 9th January, 1971.

The Governor accepted the resignation of the Chief Minister with effect from 8-30 p.m. on 9th January, 1971. But the President’s Rule was imposed on 11th January, 1971. For a little more than one day the State was under the direct rule of the Governor.
