It had contested 2018 assembly elections in an alliance with Indian National Congress.[7]

After the bifurcation, Telugu Desham Party created two units for both Telugu states. L. Ramana was appointed as the first president of the Telangana unit of TDP in 2015 and served till July 19, 2021. In July 2021, Telangana TDP appointed Bakkani Narasimhulu as the president.[8]
