How does the appointment process for Ministers vary between different states?
The appointment process for Ministers varies between different states in the following ways:

1. In the States of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha, there is a specific provision for a Minister in charge of tribal welfare. This Minister may also be responsible for the welfare of Scheduled Castes and backward classes or any other work.
2. The total number of Ministers, including the Chief Minister, in the Council of Ministers in a State shall not exceed fifteen per cent. of the total number of members of the Legislative Assembly of that State. However, there is a minimum requirement for the number of Ministers, which should not be less than twelve.
