who was elected president of central legislative assembly in 1925?
vithalbhai patel
patel won a seat on the bombay legislative council, a body with no real functions. although failing to achieve anything concrete in terms of the fight for national independence, self-government or public welfare, patel grew popular and respected by his oratorical and witty mastery and belittling of the raj's officials, winning many a battle of wit, which bore little overall significance. in 1914, vithalbhai played a prominent role in two bills on the council, "the bombay district municipal act amendment bill" and "the town planning bill" in 1914. his most well known proposal for which he received praise was for the extension of primary education to municipal districts in the bombay presidency outside of the city of bombay in 1917. after a long battle, the bill was passed after several amendments and modifications. throughout his time on the legislative council, he passed and fought for several bills and amendments on medical practice. in a 1912 amendment to the bombay medical act, he sought to register doctors for disciplinary action for malpractice. this amendment did not include ayuvedic physicians. in 1923 he was elected to the central legislative assembly, a chamber of elected and appointed indian and british representatives with limited legislative powers, and in 1925 became the assembly's president, or speaker.
