I have conducted a small survey to find out the popular leaders in the Telugu Desam Party during Mahanadu. Party activists still have resounding faith in the Nandamuri family. Paritala Ravi is still revered as “Hero” by TDP activists cutting across all regions. Surprise finding of the survey is GMC Balayogi and Y. Madhava Reddy are more popular than some of the current Politbureau members. Paritala Sunitha, Roja, Mullapudi Renuka and Nannapaneni Rajakumari are popular women leaders. 
Popularity among TDP activists:
1. N.T. Ramarao
2. N. Chandrababu Naidu
3. Paritala Ravi – He is more popular than Chandrababu Naidu in the youth.
4. N. Balakrishna
5. N. Harikrishna
6. Ramoji Rao
7. Nagam Janardhana Reddy - He is the rising star in the Party.
8. T. Devender Goud - He is liked by Telangana activists but disliked by Andhra and Rayalaseema activists.
2. N. Chandrababu Naidu
3. Paritala Ravi – He is more popular than Chandrababu Naidu in the youth.
4. N. Balakrishna
5. N. Harikrishna
6. Ramoji Rao
7. Nagam Janardhana Reddy - He is the rising star in the Party.
8. T. Devender Goud - He is liked by Telangana activists but disliked by Andhra and Rayalaseema activists.
Leaders like Karanam Balarama Krishna Murthy, Kodela Sivaprasada Rao, Yerram Naidu and Bhooma Nagireddy are popular only in select regions.
I request more comprehensive survey to find out the opinions of party activists regarding party leaders.
