He "thanked" top leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and K.C. Venugopal for "relieving him" and questioned which remarks made by him were anti-Congress. “Which of my activities are against the party? When did they get to know about these activities? Is taking Lord Ram’s name anti-party? Is going to Ayodhya anti-party? Was attending the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at Ram Janmabhoomi anti-party? Is meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi anti-party?” he told ANI.

Calling Mallikarjun Kharge a "rubber stamp," Krishnam stated: "Sachin Pilot has been disrespected a lot in the party and like Lord Shiv, he is gulping the poison. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is also being disrespected...You should ask her why is she not joining Rahul Gandhi in his Yatra? The question is who is giving instructions to disrespect them because our president (Mallikarjun Kharge) is just a rubber stamp."
