From 1 September 1995, the TDP was led by N.T.R.'s son-in-law and the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu as president of the party. The headquarters of the party is called N.T.R. Bhavan, which is located at Mangalagiri, Guntur.
The Telugu Desam Party follows a pro-Telugu ideology. It was founded as an alternative to the Congress hegemony, by emphasizing Telugu regional pride and serving as the party for farmers, backward castes and middle-class people. Since the 1990s, it has followed an economically liberal policy that has been seen as pro-business and pro-development.[18]
TDP party was founded thinking that we should stand by the people of the state who are struggling with many such problems and put a political party to stand by the people. The party was formed on 29 March 1982 and contested the 1983 elections. The people of Andhra Pradesh, who were fed up with the Congress government which had been ruling for 36 years, gave a great victory to the TDP party in the 1983 elections. On 9 January 1983, NTR was sworn in as the 7th Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.[21]
On 16 August 1984, when NTR went to America for the operation, Nadendla Bhaskara Rao, one of the MLAs of the TDP party, took the oath of office with the Governor along with his MLAs as the Chief Minister.[22] On 16 September 1984, NTR along with his MLAs went to Delhi and held a march and dharna against the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Then NTR was once again sworn in as the Chief Minister.
In November 2022, Kasani Gnaneshwar Mudiraj, a former MLC and BC leader, was appointed as the president of Telangana TDP by N. Chandrababu Naidu.[29] Kasani, who served as the MLC from undivided Andhra Pradesh, has served as the national president of Mudiraj Mahasabha and had a good hold in the BC community. Under his leadership, the party sees revival in the state and has started actively participating in various public gatherings and rallies in Telangana.[30][31][32]
On December 21, 2022, the party organized a large public gathering in Khammam district of Telangana to re-energize the party cadre.[33][34] It was attended by TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu and TTDP president Kasani Gnaneshwar Mudiraj. A huge crowd attended the gathering held at the Sardar Patel Stadium in Khammam.[35] While addressing the gathering, Chandrababu Naidu appealed to those who quit the party to join other political parties to return to regain the party's past glory.[36] After 2018, it was the first time that TDP organized a show of strength in Telangana.[37][38]
The total number of Lok Sabha seats in (previously undivided) Andhra Pradesh (1956-2014) was 42. After the 2014 bifurcation of the state, there are 25 Lok Sabha seats in Andhra Pradesh and 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana. The National United Front was formed with N. T. Rama Rao as chairperson. Under the leadership of Chandrababu Naidu the NDA government was formed with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as the Prime Minister of India. The TDP had G. M. C. Balayogi as the 12th Speaker of the Lok Sabha. TDP was the second largest party in 1984 Indian General Elections, winning 30 seats with 4.31% of votes, thus achieving the distinction of becoming the first regional party to become a national opposition party. However, in the next election they were reduced to only 2 seats out of 42 contested, which has to this day remained the biggest defeat for the party.

The party has been gradually withdrawing from Telangana starting in 2009. This can be seen from the number of seats that the party has contested historically in the Telangana region when it was part of Andhra Pradesh. This shows that while the TDP has always contested a smaller share of the total seats in the Telangana region than in the region that is present-day Andhra Pradesh, the gap became significantly bigger in 2009. This is when the TDP formed an alliance with the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS, which is now Bharat Rashtra Samiti or BRS) and left parties. As expected, TDP had to share a large share of Telangana region seats with the TRS in 2009. This is because TRS was formed by former TDP member K Chandrasekhar Rao in 2001 when he walked out of his then party on the issue of a separate Telangana.
The final reason for the TDP withdrawing from the Telangana election may be the arrest of TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu in corruption cases in September, just months ahead of the election in Telangana. This is also the reason suggested by the party for not contesting the Telangana election. As HT reported at the time, the party is also facing an existential crisis in Andhra Pradesh. While its vote share in the 2019 state election in Andhra Pradesh was in line with its historical performance in the state, its seat share decreased to an all-time low.
"As a party, it would be a new situation for us when Chandrababu Naidu ji is in remand and even Lokesh Anna is in remand. But we have prepared ourselves for that eventuality as well," a TDP leader privy to developments told India Today. "A 13-member Steering Committee has been formed to avert the leadership vacuum."
Chandrababu Naidu's party believes that in the past two years, they have been able to revamp their organizational structure which strengthened them up till the grassroot level. The newly formed 13-member steering committee has been empowered to make key political decisions in the absence of the top two TDP leaders.
The decisions made by the 13-member steering committee regarding the TDP's strategy will be ratified by CBN as needed, the sources indicated. "This will send a message to our cadre that there is no leadership vacuum within the party," the TDP sources said.Published By: Anuja JhaPublished On: Sep 27, 2023ALSO READ Pawan Kalyan meets Chandrababu Naidu in jail, joins hands for Andhra pollsMust Watch
