Short-lived CMedit
After one and a half years of the TDP's rule he along with his supporters pulled a coup on the NTR government in August 1984. Congress (I) gave support to Bhaskara Rao's group within TDP at a time when NTR was away in the US to undergo angiogram. Since Congress was in power at the (UTC)center and their nominee occupied the AP Governor's post, Bhaskara Rao became CM of Andhra Pradesh.
Seventeen opposition parties, including the CPI, CPI(M), BJP and the Janata criticised this move and launched a 'Save democracy movement', leading to massive anti-Centre protest against the dismissal of the TDP government. NTR returned from US, wore black clothes and launched a statewide yathra to protest the dismissal of his government. He called it a dharma yuddham (a war for justice), a war against the authoritarian and autocratic rule at the centre, for restoration of democracy and safeguarding the Constitution. The central government, recalled the governor and reinstalled NTR as CM – the only instance in political history of India when a dismissed CM was reinstated.
Bhaskara Rao left TDP and joined Congress (I) along with his close supporter Amukurajah Rao. He reigned as the AP CM after a month. His position as CM lasted 31 days.
Post CM daysedit
After a political hiatus, Bhaskara Rao was elected to the 12th Lok Sabha in 1998 from Khammam Constituency. He filed a defamation litigation on N.T.R: Mahanayakudu movie for showing his character negatively.[1][2]
