Naidu said the Congress was "running away" from passing bills.
The Parliamentary Affairs Minister also asked the party MPs to ensure their presence in both the Houses as there was a Constitutional Amendment Bill to be taken up and passed.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley listed out the purpose behind bringing the bill on judicial reforms and said it should not be construed as "Government versus Judiciary" or "Parliament versus Judiciary".
"It is broadly aimed at bringing transparency in appointment of judges and their transfers," he told the MPs.
