Set in the 1960s and 1970s, the story revolves around the mining mafia bubble that takes Pratap Reddy from rags to riches, as he seeks control over Dharmapuri through sheer violence and ruthlessness. The situation, however, changes when Pratap becomes the target of his friends and family.

While Pratap gets arrested for the crime, his wife Saroja seeks help from Venkat Subbaiah, the owner of the mine factory. In the meanwhile, DN Reddy plots to kill Pratap in the police station. However, Ranga Rao, a communist party leader who contests against DN Reddy, rescues Pratap and gets him out on bail. Ranga Rao also announces Pratap as the union leader of the mining factory. With Pratap on his side, Ranga Rao goes all in to protest against DN Reddy. Finally, Pratap kills Venkat Subbaiah after realising the truth that he slept with Saroja

After Venkat Subbaiah's death, his wife decides to take revenge. She finds support from DN Reddy, and the duo closes the mine factory. As the miners and their family suffer, Chalapathi seeks the help of DN Reddy, who agrees to help if Pratap leaves Dharmapuri. When Pratap gets to know, he tortures Venkat Subbaiah's wife and gets the mine factory singed to his name, and reopens the factory. DN Reddy gets upset and bombs the mining area, as a series of fight continues between Pratap and DN Reddy.

As series of gang wars continue to wage between Pratap and DN Reddy's men, Ranga Rao announces that Pratap will contest against DN Reddy in the upcoming elections. To gain votes, DN Reddy mesmerises the people in the last moment. To turn the tables, Pratap decides to bomb in one of his own meetings, gaining sympathy from the people. Pratap wins the election against DN Reddy and becomes the ZP of Dharmapuri. In the meanwhile, Pratap doubts that Venkat Subbaiah could be the reason for Saroja's pregnancy, and goes ahead with the abortion.

15 years later, Pratap is the inevitable force in Dharmapuri. His elder son, Venu, leads his life by fighting against the injustice around, ignoring Pratap's advise to stay away from involving himself in unnecessary issues. Soon, Venu’s marriage is fixed with Swapna, his childhood love. On the other hand, Pratap's 2nd son, Ravi, renovates a theater, his long-standing dream. In the meanwhile, Pratap and Saroja get attacked by a couple of goons unexpectedly, in which Pratap gets hospitalised. When Ranga Rao visits the hospital, Pratap tells him that he has decided to change the party.

Pratap goes along with Venu to join the Swarajya party and meets the party president, Vengal Reddy. In the meanwhile, Venu and Ravi learn that DN Reddy was the mastermind behind all the attacks including the attack on their father. Venu decides to kill DN Reddy and goes to Dharmapuri along with Ravi and Raghuveera. When they realise that DN Reddy is not in Dharmapuri, they suspect him to be hiding in MLA quarters. Venu smartly seduces Divya, a newspaper journalist, and gains entry in to the MLA quarters along with Ravi. The brothers find DN Reddy inside the MLA quarters, and Ravi kills DN Reddy brutally.

The Chief Minister intimidates Vengal Reddy for hiding DN Reddy in the MLA quarters. Vengal reddy goes to meet Mister Rao, the editor of Nedu, and shouts at him for the blunder. On the other hand, Divya decides to take revenge on Venu and starts to dive deep in to Pratap’s illegal activities. Later, she meets the collector and hands over all the data that she found against Pratap. In the meanwhile, Venu and Swapna's marriage date gets finalised. On the marriage day, Divya meets Swapna and reveals the truth, making Swapna feel cheated. Yet, Swapna decides to get married to Venu.

After marriage, Venu starts his own 'Farmers Market' and Pratap feels happy to see his son progress. On the way back, Pratap tells Venu to contest for the ZP elections but Venu disagrees. In the meanwhile, Pratap gets to know that a rape case has been filed against Ravi and he is on the run. They later realise that it was a set up from Usha, her father and Vengal Reddy. Finally, when Venu and Saroja decide to hand over Ravi to the police, they find something unexpected that leaves the family shocked.

After the tragedic incident, Venu and Raghuveera search for Usha and find her. After realising that Usha's father is the culprit behind Ravi's tragedic death, the men beat Usha's father black and blue. Venu decides to prove that Ravi was innocent and he never raped Usha, and requests Usha to reveal the truth. When Pratap warns Venu to not go ahead with his decision, Venu ignores his father and takes Usha to the station. In the meanwhile, Pratap becomes the MLA from Dharmapuri. On the other hand, Vengal Reddy vents out his anger on Mister Rao for killing Ravi without consulting him, and decides to leave the country. On the way, Vengal Reddy's car gets hit by a lorry.

When a young and dynamic leader, Satyanand, announces his 'Ujjwala' party, it sends out shock waves to the current political parties. Miffed, Ranga Rao meets Venu and suggests him to contest as the MLA candidate from Dharmapuri. Half-heartedly, Venu decides to contest from the Praja Mithra party. Seeing the turn of events, Mister Rao supports Satyanand and suggests him to contest against Venu and Pratap from Dharmapuri. When Pratap decides to bring Venu back home, a young man stabs Pratap to death. On the other hand, Divya digs into Sarlakka's case and realises that Mister Rao was the mastermind behind her protest. Finally, the situation leads Venu to become the CM but not before Manju who's already ready with a plot for the fall of Venu's government.
