Drawn to politics at an early age as a Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) of Chandragiri Constituency in 1978, Naidu got the chance to show his political skills in August 1984, when Nadendla Bhaskara Rao staged a coup against NTR. He rallied the TDP (Telugu Desam Party) MLAs together, and paraded them before the President of India. NTR was reinstated as the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh 31 days later.
Impressed with his manoeuvres, NTR also appointed Naidu as the General Secretary of the party. Later, Chandrababu played an important role in the TDP after Rao's coup attempt. When NTR married Lakshmi Parvathi, Naidu took over the TDP legislative party in a Coup and became Chief Minister Of United Andhra Pradesh.
