Ramakrishna Ranga Rao, Raja of Bobbili

Sir Ramakrishna Ranga Rao (20 February 1901 – 10 March 1978) succeeded his father as zamindar of Bobbili in 1921. He joined the Justice Party in 1930 and was elected to the Legislative Council.

In October 1932 a rebel group of zamindars in the party replaced B. Munuswamy Naidu with him as president, and he became First Minister in November 1932. He served from 5 November 1932 to 4 April 1936 and again from 24 August 1936 to 1 April 1937. His government was criticised for high ministerial salaries during the Depression and for refusing to cut land tax, and analysts hold his style of leadership partly responsible for the party's heavy defeat in 1937.

From 1946 to 1951 he was a member of the Constituent Assembly that framed India's Constitution, and he later served in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly. He is also remembered for founding colleges and patronising sport and education.
