Madhya Pradesh came into existence on November 1, 1956, following the reorganisation of states.
It was created by merging the erstwhile Madhya Pradesh (without the Marathi-speaking areas, which were merged with Bombay state), Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal states.
On November 1, 1956, the legislative assemblies of all four erstwhile states were also merged to form the reorganised Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha.
