==Political career==
Shettar began his public life with the [[Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad]] and participated actively in all its activities before becoming an active member of the [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]].

In 1990, he became the President of Hubli Rural Unit of the BJP and in 1994, the Dharwad District Unit President of the party. He was elected to the [[Karnataka Legislative Assembly]] for the first time in 1994 and has been reelected as [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Member of the Legislative Assembly]] from [[Hubli-Dharwad Central (Karnataka Assembly constituency)|Hubli-Dharwad Central]] constituency for four successive terms. In 1996, he became the BJP State Secretary and in 1999, he was chosen as the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly following the defeat of the BJP in the state elections. Shettar was the Leader of Opposition when [[S.M. Krishna]] was the Chief minister and effectively discharged his duties.

In 2005, he was appointed as the State President of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]. Later, he went on to become the Revenue Minister in the [[Janata Dal (Secular)]]-BJP coalition government headed by [[HD Kumaraswamy]] in 2006.

In 2008, following the BJP victory in [[2008 Karnataka state assembly elections|Karnataka assembly elections]], Shettar was unanimously elected as the [[List of speakers of the Karnataka Legislature|Speaker of the Karnataka legislative assembly]]. However, he resigned from this post in 2009 and was inducted into the cabinet of [[B.S. Yeddyurappa]] as Minister for Rural development and Panchayat Raj.<ref>{{cite news|title=Shettar quits as Speaker, set to join govt with plum portfolio|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/shettar-quits-as-speaker-set-to-join-govt-w/542520/|access-date=21 December 2010|newspaper=Indian Express|date=17 November 2009}}</ref>

In 2011, following the resignation of B.S. Yeddyurappa, Shettar emerged as a major contender to the post of [[Chief Minister]]. However, he was defeated by [[D.V. Sadananda Gowda]] in the election to select the Leader of the BJP Legislature party. He continued to be a minister in the State government.

As one of the most influential leaders of North Karnataka region, he has been associated with many reforms including the Khalasa Banduri project, construction of Suvarna Vidhana soudha in [[Belgaum]], establishment of South western railways headquarters in Hubli Dharwad etc.

In July 2012, several BJP MLAs owing allegiance to B.S. Yeddyurappa called for the replacement of D.V. Sadananda Gowda with Shettar. After much turmoil, the BJP High Command agreed to make him the Chief minister.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-08/india/32588002_1_lingayat-karnataka-cm-legislature-party | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130706034142/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-08/india/32588002_1_lingayat-karnataka-cm-legislature-party | url-status=dead | archive-date=6 July 2013 | work=[[The Times of India]] | title= Sadananda Gowda resigns, Jagadish Shettar to be new Karnataka CM| date=8 July 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/jagadish-shettar-to-be-formally-elected-as-karnataka-chief-minister-tomorrow-240982 |title=Jagadish Shettar to be formally elected as Karnataka Chief Minister today |publisher=NDTV.com |date=9 July 2012 |access-date=7 September 2012}}</ref> He was sworn in on 12 July 2012.<ref>{{cite news| url= http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-10/india/32617933_1_jagdish-shettar-bjp-legislature-legislature-party| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130602141945/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-07-10/india/32617933_1_jagdish-shettar-bjp-legislature-legislature-party| url-status= dead| archive-date= 2 June 2013| work= [[The Times of India]]| title= Jagdish Shettar to be sworn in as Karnataka CM Thursday, 2 deputy CM posts created | date= 10 July 2012}}</ref>
