Chandrababu took his oath as Chief Minister for the first time in 1995. He also turned a crucial player in the national politics and showed a clear domination in the AP politics. TDP emerged as a clear winner in 1999 polls with 180 seats. But TDP witnessed a huge defeat in 2004 and 2009 elections and Congress formed the government. TDP returned back to power in AP in 2014 polls and the party got vanished in Telangana after the state was formed. All the leaders in Telangana moved to other parties. In 2019 polls, TDP lost to YSRCP and is the major opposition party. TDP is the weakest party now after the party was formed. Most of the crucial and senior leaders are inactive and the party lost cadre badly.

It would be a challenge for TDP to dethrone YSRCP and return back to the power in the 2024 polls. Chandrababu's son Nara Lokesh is trying hard to make his impact. He faced a lot of heat and was trolled badly in the 2019 polls. For now, TDP completes a remarkable journey of 40 years.
