Bengaluru: Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, the BJP MLA from Sirsi in Uttara Kannada district, is almost certain to be the new Karnataka Assembly Speaker.
The post had fallen vacant after K.R. Ramesh Kumar, Srinivasapur MLA from the Congress, quit as Speaker on Monday soon after BJP’s B.S. Yediyurappa proved majority by a voice vote in the floor of the Assembly.
