The correct answer is Madhya Pradesh. Article 371 and subsequent Articles (371A to 371J) of the Constitution of India contain special provisions for various states, but Madhya Pradesh is not among them.

Article 371 and related articles provide special provisions to certain states to address specific regional needs, historical circumstances, or developmental disparities. States covered include Maharashtra, Gujarat, Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Sikkim, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, and Karnataka.

Article 371 specifically contains special provisions for Maharashtra and Gujarat. Article 371J provides special provisions for Karnataka. Madhya Pradesh does not have any such special provisions under Article 371 series.
