Naidu, a former ally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP, left the NDA in 2018 while he was the Chief Minister of the southern state.
A year later, Naidu was voted out of power as Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSRCP swept the assembly polls.
After TDP rejoined NDA, Naidu's son and TDP national general secretary Nara Lokesh termed this alliance as a "turning point".
Nara Lokesh posted on X, "@JaiTDP, @JanaSenaParty and @BJP4India are joining forces to bring Andhra Pradesh back on growth track. This is a significant moment for our state, which has suffered and lived through its darkest phase in history over the last five years.
"History will record this alliance as a turning point, a necessity that positively transformed the State and the lives of the people of Andhra Pradesh."
