NTR was born on May 28, 1923 in Andhra Pradesh and served as the state's Chief Minister from 1983 to 1989. He returned the TDP to power with a landslide win in December 1994, but a few months later faced a mutiny from his son-in-law Chandrabu Naidu, who was dissatisfied with NTR's second wife Lakshmi Parvathi's intervention in party and administrative issues.

Naidu deposed NTR from power in September 1995, with the help of NTR's children from his first wife. On January 18, 1996, the TDP's founder died after a heart attack.
