Born into the Balija community, a significant presence in Chikkaballapur, Ramaiah is confident in his cross-community appeal. He believes that the promises made by the Congress resonate positively with voters, particularly in rural areas.

These initiatives have provided substantial support to various areas within the constituency, including Chikkaballapur, Bagepalli, Chintamani, and Tumakuru. Ramaiah emphasizes a proactive approach to social service, focusing on relieving the financial burden of medical expenses for families below the poverty line, which has earned his family recognition for their impactful contributions.
