A long-timer in the Indian National Congress, he became known for rescuing the then AICC chief Indira Gandhi from a public attack, when she was touring the area in 1977 after a split in the Congress. She called him as her third son. Indira Gandhi fielded him from Addanki as Congress nominee in the 1978 elections, which was his electoral debut. When he was held in lockup on some of the charges, the police was surprised to see the turnout of people visiting him. N. T. Rama Rao who was a politician by then promised the people of Thimmasamudram that he will look into it.[1]
Apart from being the accused in several cases from unlawful assembly, murder etc., he was suspended from the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly for 6 months on charges of making ‘objectionable’ remarks against the then Assembly Speaker K. R. Suresh Reddy. The Committee on Privileges of the Assembly was chaired by his former rival Gade Venkat Reddy of the then ruling Congress party.[3][4] Garataiah was allegedly upset over being denied the Addanki assembly ticket in the 2009 elections.[1][5][6][7] On July 9, 2019, Amanchi Krishna Mohan filed a petition in the High Court seeking the disqualification of Karanam Balaram's victory in 2019 Assembly Election.
