Template:Short description Template:Pp-extended Template:Use Indian English Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Indian political party
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP; Template:Translation)Template:Sfn is an Indian regional political party primarily active in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> It was founded by Telugu matinée idol N. T. Rama Rao (NTR) on 29 March 1982<ref>Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref> and has focused on supporting Telugu people. The party has won a five-time majority in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly and has emerged as the most successful political outfit in the state's history. It is currently the ruling party in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
From 1 September 1995, the TDP was led by N. T. Rama Rao's son-in-law, Nara Chandra Babu Naidu as the national president of the party. The headquarters of the party is called N. T. R. Bhavan, which is located at Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh.
Ideology and symbolism
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.Template:Sfn
The party flag features a yellow background symbolizing prosperity and energy, with a house symbolizing families, a plough for farmers and a wheel representing workers and progress. Its official electoral symbol is the bicycle.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Membership
The party runs a biennial membership drive, offering enrollment for ₹100. Since 2014, every active member enrolled through this drive has been covered under a group personal accident insurance policy, a first-of-its-kind initiative by any political party in the country.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The policy provided ₹2 lakh in case of accidental death or permanent total disability, such as the loss of both limbs or eyes. It also includes educational assistance of ₹5,000 per child (up to two children) and covers hospital treatment expenses up to ₹50,000 resulting from such accidents.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> By 2025, the party had crossed the milestone of one crore active members and the insurance coverage was increased to ₹5 lakh. Over 2,500 children of party workers have received financial support for higher education, and ₹103.28 crore has been distributed to the families of 5,164 deceased workers.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
History
N. T. Rama Rao (1983–1995)
Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) is a prominent figure in Indian cinema and politics, particularly known for his influence in Telugu-speaking regions.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> As an actor, he gained widespread recognition not only among Telugu-speaking people but across the country. NTR's contributions extend beyond the film industry, as he played a significant role in Andhra Pradesh's political landscape.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
On 18 November 1977, the Pralaya cyclone struck the coastal regions of Andhra Pradesh, particularly affecting Diviseema in Krishna district. The cyclone caused widespread devastation, with turbulent seas resulting in massive flooding.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Thousands of people lost their lives, and extensive property damage was reported. Official reports indicated casualties more than 10,000. Around 20,000 acres of crops were destroyed, and the overall damage was estimated to be in crores of rupees.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> The event left a lasting impact on the people of the region, and the memory of the flooding is still vivid among locals.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Shocked by the devastation, NTR mobilized support from the film industry and the general public to assist the victims of Diviseema. He appealed to people for donations, and the funds raised were used for the rehabilitation of the affected communities.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
In response to the challenges faced by the people of Andhra Pradesh, NTR founded the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on 29 March 1982,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> with the aim of addressing the state's political and socio-economic issues. The party's formation marked a shift in the political landscape, as it sought to provide an alternative to the long-standing rule of the Indian National Congress, which had been in power for over 26 years.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In the 1983 state elections, the TDP secured a landslide victory, and NTR was sworn in as the 10th Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on 9 January 1983.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
However, NTR's tenure as Chief Minister was interrupted in August 1984 when he went to the United States for medical treatment. During his absence, Nadendla Bhaskara Rao, a TDP MLA, took office as the Chief Minister with the support of the then Governor, Thakur Ram Lal.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> NTR's son-in-law Naidu, played an active role in rallying the support of legislators for NTR.<ref name="indiatoday.in">Template:Cite news</ref> He gathered them at Ramakrishna Cine Studios until NTR's return.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On 16 September 1984, NTR led a march and protest in Delhi, demonstrating against the central government's actions under Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Subsequently, NTR regained his position as Chief Minister, restoring his leadership in the state.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In 1985, after successfully regaining his position as Chief Minister following a brief political crisis, NTR called for fresh elections. The elections resulted in a landslide victory for the TDP.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Naidu, who was initially involved in party activities by organizing training programs for legislators and computerizing membership records, was subsequently appointed as the party's general secretary in 1986.<ref name="indiatoday.in"/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
During his tenure as Chief Minister, NTR implemented significant reforms in Andhra Pradesh, including the divestment of state industries, the introduction of the 1995 MACS Act for co-operatives,<ref name="macs-book2">Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and an overhaul of the education system with statewide entrance exams like EAMCET. He also initiated welfare programs such as subsidized rice and housing,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> along with large-scale irrigation projects like the Telugu Ganga project.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> NTR's governance focused on decentralization, women empowerment, and enhancing the state's infrastructure, making lasting contributions to its political and economic development.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
The party lost power in the 1989 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and was restricted to the opposition. However, it regained power in the 1994 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. NTR was sworn in as Chief Minister for the third time.<ref name="google">Template:Cite book</ref> At the national level, the National Front (NF) was established under the leadership of the Janata Dal, which governed India from 1989 to 1990. NTR served as its chairperson.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In 1995, a political crisis in Andhra Pradesh resulted in the removal of NTR as both the Chief Minister and the party president. NTR's son-in-law, N. Chandrababu Naidu, along with other family members, including Nandamuri Harikrishna, Nandamuri Balakrishna, and eldest son-in-law Daggubati Venkateswara Rao, ousted NTR from his roles in the party and government. Naidu accused NTR of being influenced by his second wife, Lakshmi Parvathi, whom he had married in 1993 following the death of his first wife, Basava Tarakam, in 1985. With the majority of party legislators supporting him, Naidu went on to become the longest-serving Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and the president of TDP since then.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
On 18 January 1996, NTR died of a heart attack at his residence in Hyderabad, aged 72.<ref name="ntr death">Template:Cite news</ref> With Naidu already assuming leadership of the TDP, Lakshmi Parvathi founded the NTR Telugu Desam Party (Lakshmi Parvathi). However, it failed to make any impact on the TDP's performance or vote share.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
N. Chandrababu Naidu (1995–present)
1.jpg){kind=link}
Following the internal party crisis, with N. Chandrababu Naidu having assumed the role of Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and president of the party in 1995, the party underwent a significant transformation. Naidu's leadership marked a shift from the populist approach of NTR to a more technocratic and development-oriented governance model.Template:Sfn<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
Naidu's first term as Chief Minister (1995–2004) is widely recognized for its focus on economic reforms and technological advancement.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He prioritised transforming Hyderabad into a major IT hub, earning the moniker "CEO of Andhra Pradesh."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> His administration introduced initiatives like the Janmabhoomi program for rural development, e-seva centers for e-governance and infrastructure projects, including highways and bridges. Naidu's policies attracted global investment, notably in the IT sector.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Naidu's rise coincided with a role on the national stage with the formation of the United Front (UF), a coalition of non-Congress and non-BJP parties in 1996 to provide a third alternative government at the center. Following the inconclusive 1996 Indian general election, which resulted in a hung parliament, the TDP with 16 Lok Sabha seats extended support to the United Front government led by Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda and later I. K. Gujral. Naidu also served as the UF convenor.
In the 1999 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, the TDP under Naidu's leadership secured victory, winning 180 out of 294 seats. The party provided outside support to the Atal Bihari Vajpayee led central government as part of the National Democratic Alliance.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Despite these achievements, Naidu faced criticism for his perceived neglect of the agricultural sector and rural communities. Several droughts and increasing agrarian distress during his tenure intensified dissatisfaction among rural voters. This growing discontent contributed to the TDP's defeat in the 2004 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, with the Indian National Congress, returning to power. After the 2004 electoral loss, Naidu continued to serve as the Leader of the Opposition and sought to reconnect with rural voters by adjusting the party's focus toward welfare and agricultural concerns. However, the TDP was again defeated in the 2009 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election. During this period, Naidu remained an active figure in state politics, critiquing government policies and advocating for development-oriented reforms.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
The bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, which resulted in the formation of the new state of Telangana, led the party to establish separate units for both Telugu-speaking states.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Andhra Pradesh (since 2014)
In the 2014 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election held that year, Naidu led the TDP to victory in the residual state of Andhra Pradesh as part of ther NDA once again.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He was sworn in as the first Chief Minister of the newly reorganized Andhra Pradesh. His administration focused on building a new capital city at Amaravati, improving infrastructure, promoting foreign investment and enhancing public service delivery through digital initiatives.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Despite these efforts, the Naidu government faced growing criticism over delays in capital construction and its inability to secure Special Category Status for the state from the centre.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In the 2019 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, the TDP suffered a major defeat to the YSR Congress Party, and Naidu once again became the Leader of the Opposition.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
The party accused the ruling YSR Congress Party of political harassment and the use of derogatory language against its leader Naidu. Several TDP members were arrested and attacked, many killed,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> while party president Naidu was arrested in 2023 on alleged corruption charges, which he and his party described as politically motivated.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> His arrest led to widespread protests by party supporters across the state. Throughout its time in opposition, the TDP organized various demonstrations and campaigns criticizing the government's policies and governance.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In the 2024 elections, Naidu re-established the alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Jana Sena Party, rejoining the NDA. The alliance won a landslide victory in the 2024 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, while the YSRCP suffered a major setback and failed to secure the status of the opposition.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The result had the highest seat share for the TDP in its electoral history. Naidu was sworn in for a fourth term as Chief Minister, marking a historic political comeback.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Telangana (since 2014)
After the formation of Telangana, the TDP, in alliance with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), contested the 2014 Legislative Assembly election. TDP won 15 seats in the newly formed Telangana Legislative Assembly securing most of its seats in the districts of Ranga Reddy, Hyderabad, Mahabubnagar, Warangal, and Khammam.<ref name=firstelection>Template:Cite news</ref> The party also won a Lok Sabha seat from Malkajgiri in the simultaneously held 2014 Indian general election.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> However, defections of legislators and other leaders from TDP to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), now known as Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and the alleged portrayal of TDP as an "Andhra party" by the TRS, led to a decline of the party's influence in the state.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In the 2016 Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation election, TDP won just one councillor seat out of 150.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In the 2018 Telangana Legislative Assembly election, the party won two seats, both in Khammam district, out of 119 seats. It had contested the 2018 elections as part of the Praja Kutami, which included the Indian National Congress, traditionally a long-time opponent of TDP and other parties.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Following the bifurcation, TDP created separate state units for both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In 2015, L. Ramana, a two time former MLA from Jagtial, was appointed as the first president of the Telangana unit of TDP, serving until 2021. Ramana later quit the party to join the BRS.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> He was succeeded by Bakkani Narasimhulu, a former MLA from Shadnagar, in July 2021.<ref name=Bakkani/> The party performed poorly in the 2020 Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation election, failing to win any seats.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
In November 2022, Kasani Gnaneshwar Mudiraj, a former MLC and BC leader, was appointed president of Telangana TDP by N. Chandrababu Naidu.<ref name=Kasani>Template:Cite web</ref> Kasani, who had also served as the national president of the Mudiraj Mahasabha, initiated efforts to revive the party in Telangana after his appointment.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
However, on 30 October 2023, Kasani resigned as Telangana TDP president and joined the BRS, following N. Chandrababu Naidu announcement that TDP would not contest the 2023 Telangana Legislative Assembly election. Since then, the party's Telangana unit has remained without a leader.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The party also announced that it would not contest the 2024 Indian general election in Telangana, but would continue to be part of the NDA.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Andaman and Nicobar Islands
The TDP also holds influence in the union territory Andaman and Nicobar Islands, contesting the Port Blair Municipal Council elections periodically. With a significant Telugu population in the islands, the party secured and maintained two seats in both the 2015 and 2022 council elections.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> On 14 March 2023, TDP councillor S. Selvi was elected as the chairperson, as part of the TDP–BJP alliance.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
Electoral performance
Lok Sabha electoral performance
The Telugu Desam Party has had a significant presence in the Lok Sabha elections since its formation in 1982. In its first election in 1984, the party made a debut by winning 30 out of 42 seats in Andhra Pradesh.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Over the years, TDP's performance in the Lok Sabha elections has fluctuated. In the 1989 elections, the party's influence slightly waned but it remained a key player in the state's politics.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
N. T. Rama Rao served as the chairperson of the National Front, a coalition of non-Congress parties in the late 1980s.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The TDP saw a resurgence in the 1996 and 1999 elections, forming alliances with national parties. N. Chandrababu Naidu played a crucial role as the convenor of the United Front, a coalition of non-BJP and non-Congress parties in the mid-1990s.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Karthikeyan">Template:Cite news</ref>
During the late 1990s, TDP leader G. M. C. Balayogi served as the Speaker of the Lok Sabha from 1998 to 2002.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The party played a crucial role in supporting the Janata Dal coalition government and was instrumental in the formation of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister. The party's alliance with the BJP was pivotal in securing the necessary majority for the NDA.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
The TDP's fortunes declined in the 2004 and 2009 elections, but it improved its seat count in 2014, winning 16 seats in alliance as part of the NDA.<ref>Template:Cite book Barchart of Indonesian party seat distributions.</ref> However, in the 2019 elections, TDP faced a major setback, winning only 3 seats amidst strong competition from other parties in the state. After the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, the Lok Sabha seats were divided between the newly formed state of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, leaving behind 25 seats in Andhra Pradesh and 17 seats in Telangana. In the recent 2024 election, the party, part of the NDA, managed to win 16 seats, playing a key role in the formation of the Third Modi ministry.<ref name="Karthikeyan"/>
