He claimed that his father had been a "Mandal Panchayath President, and mother a Zilla Panchayat member in Tumkur."[10] In the 2004 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, Jaggesh contested Turuvekere, and won with a healthy margin but resigned from the INC to join the Bharatiya Janata Party.[11] He served as Member of Legislative Council[12] and held the cabinet rank as the vice-chairman of the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (K.S.R.T.C.).[13]
