Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) was officially launched on 29 April 2018 at a public meeting held in Hyderabad. The Hindu stated "The new party would fight for alleviation of the plight of farmers, youth, women and other sections and would work for a change in governance rather than change in the individuals who were running the government."

Attempting to set a new tradition in Telangana politics, TJS has invited educated youth who are willing to develop villages to apply to contest the ensuing Panchayat Raj polls as candidates. The pro forma of application form is available in the TJS website for aspiring Sarpanches as of 2018. [9]
