Political Background and Rise of Regional Politics

  • The Congress system in Andhra Pradesh weakened during the late 1970s and early 1980s because of repeated leadership changes, internal factionalism and the political consequences of the 1969 Telangana and 1972 Jai Andhra agitations.
  • T. Anjaiah, a trade-union leader from Telangana's Medak region, became Chief Minister in October 1980. His rise reflected the Congress leadership's frequent changes of Chief Ministers during this period.
  • The treatment of Anjaiah during Rajiv Gandhi's 1982 visit to Hyderabad became an important political episode in the emergence of anti-Congress sentiment associated with N.T. Rama Rao.
  • The wider 1980s political environment saw the emergence of regional parties as alternatives to Congress dominance, with the Telugu Desam Party becoming the decisive example in Andhra Pradesh.
