The Telugu Desam Party (transl. Party of the Telugu Land;[13]abbr.TDP) is an Indian regional political party with great influence in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.[14] It was founded by the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh N. T. Rama Rao (N.T.R.) on 29 March 1982 and has focused on supporting Telugu speakers. 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 main opposition party in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.[15][16]
From 1 September 1995, the TDP was led by N. T. Rama Rao's son-in-law and the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Nara Chandra Babu Naidu as national president of the party. The headquarters of the party is called N. T. R. Bhavan, which is located at Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh.
