| | The Hindu : N.T. Rama Rao (1923 - 1995): A messiah of the masses |
 | | NTR, as he was fondly called, launched the Telugu Desam Party in March 1982, and within a year - on January 5, 1983, to be precise - the fledgling party dealt a crushing blow to the Congress. |
 | | NTR fans used to wait in long queues outside his house for a darshan of their `living-god'. |
 | | After the death of Basava Tarakam, NTR, who had by then lost power, became a loner, and the entry into his household of Lakshmi Parvathi as his biographer, turned the situation leading to his marrying her in the ealrly1990s. |
