Bhavana entered the summit hall with a delegate pass. While Rahul Gandhi was delivering his speech, she raised her voice and alleged that the Telangana government had failed to achieve anything in the three years since it came to power.

A video circulating on social media shows Bhavana asking the organisers for a two-minute audience with Rahul Gandhi. TPCC Vice-President Kota Neelima approached her and tried to calm her while speaking to her.

The police later escorted Bhavana out of the venue amid heightened security.
