While acknowledging that rules must be followed, Sravan Kumar referred to reports alleging an internal political conspiracy behind the development.
He claimed the episode reflected poorly on the functioning of the Congress in Telangana.
Further, the BRS leader alleged that some leaders opposed Meenakshi Natarajan after she attempted to question what he described as authoritarian tendencies in the state government.
He also criticised the growing influence of money power in the Rajya Sabha system.

He said national politics would miss her voice in the Upper House.
Sravan Kumar concluded by expressing solidarity with the Congress leader and wished her success in future political battles.
