NTR's era

NTR, also known as ANNAGARU (elder brother) to the entire state, toured the state extensively in what was called Chaitanya Ratham (literally - a Chariot which spreads energy), his "election vehicle", and made use of the immense popularity of his on-screen movie image to win the next election. The party was voted to power in a record nine months after its establishment. TDP also won more than 35 (out of 42) Lok Sabha seats in the 1984 Indian elections. This made TDP the largest opposition party in the Lok Sabha as Congress won more than 400 (out of about 500) seats in that election and this was also the first time any regional party became the largest opposition.

TDP returned to power in 1994. Rama Rao was elected to be the Chief Minister for the second time. But his governing cabinet and his family suffered from what many political observers saw, as "unconstitutional interference in affairs" by his new wife. In 1995, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, finance minister and the son-in-law of NTR (who is married to NTR's daughter through his first wife) overthrew Rama Rao's government by gathering a majority of the MLAs. This is known as Viceroy Hotel Coup (it should not have happened to Annagaaru). The overwhelming consensus against his party led the Election Commission to recognize a break-away faction under the party's original name. NTR, the founder of the party, had to rename what was left of the party as "NTR TDP". He vowed to go to the people, seeking a fresh mandate after this humiliation.

Naidu's era

After the demise of N.T. Rama Rao in 1996, his widow split the minority party again in the face of other opponents who were claiming to inherit his legacy. However, the infighting, fragmentation and the lack of a charismatic leader, led them to political oblivion in the subsequent elections. Chandrababu Naidu remained the leader of the majority faction, now recognised as the official Telugu Desam.

First Term

Naidu has expressed a goal of establishing Hyderabad and the state as a center for information technology. He wants to make Andhra Pradesh what he calls Swarnaandhra Pradesh (literally Golden Andhra Pradesh). He controlled the anti-social elements in the state to a very large extent and thus improved the Law & Order situation in the state. In his first term in the office as Chief Minister he had done a lot to irrigation sector.

Second Term

During his second term in the office he stressed for the need of better roads throughout the entire state, in which he had almost succeeded. Hyderabad was well developed. HITEC City in Hyderabad is one of his major accomplishments.By this time he came to be known as CEO of Andhra Pradesh for the flair he had for commerce, especially in Information Technology. But in this course he got carried away and neglected the irrigation sector. Drought conditions also fuelled the anger of the people. After the infamous assassination attempt, he dissolved the assembly and went for early elections in which his party was defeated. His expectations that the sympathy he gained from the assassination attempt would come to his aid in the elections did not turn out to be true. Naidu ruled the state for two consecutive terms which made him the first Chief Minister to achieve this credit in Andhra Pradesh.

^ To gain recognition as a state party, the party must have some kind of political activity for at least five continuous years, and send at least 4% of the state's quota to the Lok Sabha (India's Lower house), or 3.33% of members to the state assembly. If the above conditions are not fulfilled, then a party may gain recognition by garnering not less than 6% of the total votes in a state or national election, polled in by all its contesting candidates. If a party is recognised in four or more states, it is automatically recognised as a national party by the EC.
