'''Telangana Praja Front''' (TPF) was a regional political movement in the southern [[India]]n state of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. It was formed as a [[Telangana]] separatist organisation, demanding statehood for the Telangana region that was then a part of Andhra Pradesh.<br />
<br />
TPF was launched on 9 October 2010 with [[Gaddar]] as president. He was specific in saying that it was not a political party but rather intended to be an umbrella body for uniting various action committees that had become somewhat moribund in the preceding months. He did not, however, rule out the possibility of contesting elections at some future time, although some TPF supporters, who were mostly students, said that they would withdraw if it did in fact become a party.<ref>{{cite news |work=The Hindu |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/Gadar-named-Telangana-Praja-Front-president/article15775672.ece |title=Gadar named Telangana Praja Front president |date=10 October 2010 |accessdate=2017-08-21}}</ref> The aim at foundation was to get a bill for a separate Telangana state introduced into parliament. Gaddar said that the creation of the new state could only happen through "people's movements and agitations".<ref>{{cite news |work=Outlook |title=Telangana Praja Front to Work for Statehood: Gaddar |url=https://www.outlookindia.com/newswire/story/telangana-praja-front-to-work-for-statehood-gaddar/696749 |date=10 October 2010 |accessdate=2017-08-21}}</ref><br />
<br />
Gaddar resigned as president in May 2012, still insisting that a separate state could not be achieved through electoral means.<ref>{{cite news |work=The Times of India |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/Gaddar-quits-as-Telangana-Praja-Front-chief/articleshow/13104053.cms |title=Gaddar quits as Telangana Praja Front chief |date=12 May 2012 |accessdate=2017-08-21}}</ref> He was replaced by [[Akula Bhoomaiah]], who subsequently died in what has been alleged to be a political murder.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/bhoomaiah-death-is-it-a-murder/article5501539.ece |title=Bhoomaiah death: is it a murder? |work=The Hindu |date=2013-12-25 |accessdate=2017-08-21}}</ref><br />
