Amaravati, November 30, 2025: In the cutthroat arena of Indian politics, where star power often eclipses strategy, the Telugu Desam Party's (TDP) resurgence offers a masterclass in endurance: build an organisation that outlives its leaders. TDP's 2024 triumph, securing 164 seats in Andhra Pradesh's assembly, wasn't just Chandrababu Naidu's comeback it was the fruit of a deliberate, pre-election overhaul that prioritised grassroots machinery over glossy campaigns.
As other regional outfits grapple with internal fractures and voter whims, TDP's playbook, rooted in data-driven committees, relentless training, and unyielding discipline, emerges as a survival manual for parties dreaming of more than one-term wonders.
