  • Tribal affairs minister is not appointed in
    1. Odisha
    2. Madhya pradesh all are Schedule V States, so guessing
    3. Andhra pradesh
    4. Jharkhand

    I hope it is tribal welfare minister.
    Then it's a direct constitutional provision. It's a special power of the governor of Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Odisha. Earlier Bihar was also in the list, but after the formation of Jharkhand, it was removed.
