In 2006, K. Chandrasekhar Rao resigned from the United Progressive Alliance K. T. Rama Rao resigned from his job to join the Telangana Rashtra Samithi and began campaigning for his father who contested for the Karimnagar Lok Sabha by-election in the same year. KCR won by a margin of over 2 lakh votes.

K.T.R. began his political career in 2009 when he contested the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly Elections from the Sircilla Assembly constituency. He won by a close margin of 171 votes, defeating independent candidate KK Mahender Reddy.

Soon after, K.T.R. and 10 other members from the TRS resigned from the Legislative Assembly in support of a separate State for Telangana. In July 2010, the High Court of Andhra Pradesh ordered the Election Commission of India to conduct by-polls in Sircilla and Vemulawada among other towns across the Telangana region. K.T.R. contested again from Sircilla defeating opponent KK Mahender Reddy (from the Indian National Congress) yet again, this time with a huge margin of 68,219 votes.

When the Telangana Joint Action Committee organised a rail-road-transport blockade as part of the movement, he spent a night with the agitating protestors to push for a consensus on the formation of Telangana and asked for a timeframe to finish implementation.

K.T.R. and other TRS leaders and activists were taken into preventive custody during another three-day rail roko agitation after police and paramilitary forces were deployed by the Kiran Kumar Reddy government to control the ongoing situation. They were released later. On 27 January 2013, K.T.R. courted arrest when he attempted to participate in the Samara Deeksha protest at Indira Park at Hyderabad.

On 3 October 2013, 64 days after the Congress Working Committee's resolution on Telangana was passed, a cabinet note approved its formation in principle. In this context, K.T.R. demanded that a Bill be introduced in Parliament in an interview to Rajdeep Sardesai.[28] He also declared that the impending "Telangana government will not compromise on any aspect of administration being delegated to the union government with regard to (the city of) Hyderabad."

He hinted at a working association with the Congress party in the future. But on 5 December 2013, a Group of Ministers report listed possible options of carving out Rayal-Telangana with 12 districts and Telangana with 10 districts. K.T.R. reacted strongly against the proposal.

Finally, the first Legislative Assembly elections for Telangana, the 29th state of the Indian Union, were held on 30 April 2014 (which also coincided with the 2014 General Elections) contested as the MLA candidate for TRS from Sircilla against Konduri Ravider Rao from the INC, winning the seat for the third consecutive time by a margin of 53,004 votes. TRS emerged as the ruling party with the single largest majority in the assembly, winning a decisive mandate of 66 out of 119 seats.

was sworn in as Member of Legislative Assembly for Telangana and Cabinet Minister for Information Technology and Panchayat Raj.
