Ravi Rana Biography
Ravi Gangadhar Rana is an independent Indian politician, social worker and farmer from Amravati, Maharashtra. A three-time MLA from the Badnera Assembly, R
Early life and backgroundRavi Gangadhar Rana was born on 28 April 1980 and raised in Shankarnagar, Amravati, Maharashtra. He attended Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University and studied toward a Bachelor of Commerce before leaving in his second year. Rana is a follower of Hinduism and is known locally as a social worker and farmer in addition to his political activities.
Career
Ravi Rana entered electoral politics as an independent candidate and won the Badnera Assembly constituency seat in 2009. He successfully defended that seat in the 2014 and 2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections, becoming a three-term MLA from Badnera. Across those contests he defeated candidates from established parties, including the NCP and Shiv Sena.
Rana is the founder of Yuva Swabhiman, an organisation that later became the Yuva Swabhiman Party (YSP). The organisation began as a social movement focused on upliftment of economically disadvantaged groups before transitioning into a political party.
As an elected representative, Rana has positioned himself both as a local advocate and as a figure willing to take direct action on issues affecting his constituents. He has described roles as a politician, social worker and farmer, and has been associated with public campaigns on behalf of farmers and local residents.
Public profile
Ravi Rana’s public life has included both high-profile activism and a number of contentious incidents. In 2011 he took part in a farmers’ agitation over cotton prices that led to his arrest and a period of hospitalization after he undertook a hunger strike while detained. In subsequent years he has been involved in disputes and clashes with political opponents and municipal authorities, including an altercation after the 2019 election and confrontations over the installation and removal of a statue that led to legal action and accusations against his party workers.
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 he and others were booked for breaching lockdown restrictions while attempting to pay tribute at a public statue. In 2022 he and his wife were arrested after organising a public chanting event outside the state chief minister’s residence; they were later granted bail with court restrictions on public comment about the case. Rana has also faced other legal actions stemming from protests and public demonstrations associated with his political activity.
Personal life
Ravi Rana married Navneet Kaur Rana, an actress-turned-politician, on 2 February 2011. The couple met at an ashram where Rana was organising a yoga event and later took part in a mass marriage ceremony in Amravati that was widely publicised. They have two children, a son named Ranveer and a daughter named Aarohi. Rana’s parents are listed as Gangadhar Narayan Rana and his mother (name not provided in the available profile).
Rana maintains a public persona that includes devotional practice; he is an adherent follower of Lord Ganesha and actively celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi. He and his family have supported charitable causes locally, including a monetary contribution to a farmers’ relief fund.
Latest updates
Ravi Rana remained active in state politics through at least 2022. Following the 2019 election he offered support to the Bharatiya Janata Party as forces attempted to form a state government, though those negotiations did not produce the administration that ultimately took office. In 2022 he was prominently associated with the so-called Hanuman Chalisa incident that resulted in arrest and judicial custody for him and his wife before they were granted bail.
Rana continues to be identified with Yuva Swabhiman Party activities and local political organising in Amravati, and his public profile remains tied to both constituency-level work and street-level activism.
