== Ninety Fourth Amendment ==
The new states Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand were formed by the MP Reorganization Act, 2000 and Bihar Reorganization Act, 2000. As a consequence of reorganization of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand States, whole of the Scheduled area of Madhya Pradesh was transferred to the State of Chhattisgarh. Therefore this amendment has substituted the word Bihar in Article 164(1) of the Constitution by the words Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
