Lavu Sri Krishna Devarayalu, parliamentary party leader of Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh, stated that there is no discussion on the matter yet, and they will involve various stakeholders before adopting it. JD(U), part of the BJP-led coalition in Bihar, mentioned that they would discuss the issue with Shah.
