Bengaluru: Senior BJP MLA Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri was elected as the speaker of Karnataka assembly on Wednesday.
Kageri was elected as speaker unopposed.
Ramesh Kumar had resigned after a 14-month-long tenure under the Congress-JDS coalition government on Monday after the three-day-old B S Yediyurappa ministry won the vote of confidence in the assembly.
After being an active member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the student wing of the Sangh Pariwar, Kageri climbed up the political ladder.
Kageri got elected to the Karnataka assembly from Ankola assembly seat in 1994 and since then there has been no looking back.
Kageri had also served as the minister for primary and secondary education.
