Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Article 371 of the Indian Constitution, located in Part XXI, contains special provisions for twelve specific states to address regional disparities and protect local interests [1]. Article 371 specifically mentions Maharashtra and Gujarat, empowering the President to authorize their Governors to establish separate development boards for regions like Vidarbha, Marathwada, Saurashtra, and Kutch [1]. Subsequent amendments added Articles 371-A to 371-J, covering Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Sikkim, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, and Karnataka [2]. Specifically, Article 371-J provides special provisions for the Hyderabad-Karnataka region of Karnataka. Madhya Pradesh is not included in the list of states mentioned under Article 371 or its sub-clauses (A to J) [1]. While some sources mention Tripura, official constitutional texts and detailed lists of Article 371 provisions consistently exclude Madhya Pradesh from this special category.
