Explanation

Madhya Pradesh has the largest number of seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes in the Lok Sabha. Out of its total 29 parliamentary constituencies, 6 seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes. This reservation is based on the proportion of the Scheduled Tribe population in the state relative to its total population, as per the provisions of Article 330 of the Constitution of India and the Delimitation of Parliamentary and Assembly Constituencies Order. Other states like Odisha and Jharkhand follow with 5 seats each, while Gujarat has 4 and Chhattisgarh has 4. Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have no seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes in the Lok Sabha.
