The Tamil Nadu Yadava Mahasabai supported the formation of the party. The party leader is S. Kannappan, a former [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (AIADMK) minister. Kannappan had been expelled from AIADMK before the foundation of MTD.<br />

Ahead of the 2001 Tamil Nadu assembly elections MTD joined the [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|National Democratic Alliance]] (NDA).<br />
<br />
On 6 May 2002, the [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]] unit of MTD broke away and joined [[Indian National Congress]].<br />

This front was basically formed by groups who were dissatisfied that [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] (BJP) had put NDA aside in Tamil Nadu and instead had launched a pure BJP-AIADMK front in the elections. MTD contested under the JD(U) symbol.<br />
