Which one of the following States does not find a mention in Article 371 of the Constitution of India?

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.
