List of Rajya Sabha members from Telangana
The Rajya Sabha (meaning the "Council of States") is the upper house of the Parliament of India. Telangana elects 7 seats and they are indirectly elected by the state legislators of Telangana. The number of seats allocated to the party, are determined by the number of seats a party possesses during nomination and the party nominates a member to be voted on.

On 30 May 2014, draw was conducted amongst the existing 18 members to select the 7 members of Telangana. In the draw, 3 members of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and 4 members of Indian National Congress (INC) were selected.[1]
