Goka Ramaswamy, (1933 – 21 March 2005), was an Indian politician of the Indian National Congress from undivided Andhra Pradesh. Ramaswamy served as a Minister in the united Andhra Pradesh from 1978 to 1982 holding various portfolios. He was elected twice to Ghanpur (Station) Assembly constituency of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly in 1978 and 1983 consecutively as a Congress Party candidate. He was also the deputy leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) between 1983 and 1985 in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly when N. T. Rama Rao's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) formed the government for the first time.[1]
Goka Ramaswamy started his political career as a student leader while he was pursuing his Civil Engineering degree from Osmania University in the early 1950's. He was elected as councillor in the Jangaon Municipality at a very young age of 25 in the year 1957 and went on to serve until 1967. He also served as ZP Vice Chairman of Warangal District in the late 1960's and early 1970's. He played an imported role in Congress (Indira) when Congress Party was divided into many factions and was a longtime member of Indira Gandhi's core group throughout his political career. He was also the General Secretary of Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee(I) in 1977 and led Congress (Indira) to victory in the State in 1978 Assembly election.
Ramaswamy was first elected as an MLA from Ghanpur (Station) Assembly constituency in 1978 and was made Minister for Civil Supplies in Marri Chenna Reddy's cabinet. Ramaswamy resigned from the Council of Ministers in 1979 due to differences with Chief Minister Marri Chenna Reddy, which created a political crisis in the state government due to which Chenna Reddy had to resign as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and subsequently T. Anjaiah was made the Chief Minister. Ramaswamy served as Minister for Transport and Fisheries in T. Anjaiah's cabinet from 1980 to 1982. He was re-elected to Ghanpur(Station) in 1983 and was among the few leaders from congress to be elected during the NTR wave. He was made the deputy leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly during N. T. Rama Rao's first tenure as the Chief Minister.[2]
Ramaswamy mentored many young leaders from Warangal District who went to become Ministers later. His older brother Goka Ramalingam was an Indian Politician belonging to the Congress Party and a three-time Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from 1952 to 1967 representing Bhongir constituency in the Hyderabad Legislative Assembly and Jangaon constituency in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly. Ramaswamy died at his residence in Hyderabad, in the early hours of 21 March, 2005 at the age of 72.
