sir panaganti ramarayaningar kcie , -lrb- 9 july 1866 -- 16 december 1928 -rrb- , also known as the raja of panagal , was a `` zamindar '' of kalahasti , a justice party leader and the chief minister or premier of madras presidency from 11 july 1921 to 3 december 1926 .
ramarayaningar was born in kalahasti on 9 july 1866 .
he was educated in madras and obtained degrees in sanskrit , law , philosophy and dravidian languages before entering politics .
he was one of the founder-members of the justice party and served as its president from 1925 to 1928 .
from 17 december 1920 to 11 july 1921 , ramarayaningar served as the minister of local self-government in the first justice party government led by a. subbarayalu reddiar .
he served as the chief minister of madras presidency from 11 july 1921 to 3 december 1926 .
he introduced a number of reforms during his tenure .
the theagaroya nagar locality in chennai was developed during his chief-ministership .
ramarayaningar resigned as chief minister in 1926 when the justice party failed to obtain a majority in the 1926 elections to the madras legislative council .
he , however , continued to remain active in politics and served as the president of the justice party until his death on 16 december 1928 .
ramarayaningar was regarded as an advocate of democracy and a staunch supporter of empowerment of the depressed classes .
historians generally attribute the decline of the justice party in the mid-1930s to the absence of charismatic leaders in the justice party following his death .
