Biography

A Son of Pamarru

With a Master's in Information Technology from the University of Ballarat, Australia (2006) and decades watching his father Varla Ramaiah serve the people of Krishna district, Kumar Raja returned home to dedicate his life to Pamarru.

Appointed as TDP in-charge for Pamarru constituency in 2021, he spent three years building grassroots connections — visiting every village, attending every mandal meeting, and understanding the real needs of the people.

On June 4, 2024, the people of Pamarru rewarded this dedication with a historic mandate — 94,189 votes, a margin of 29,690, making him MLA of the 16th Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
