After he was elected to the post, Agrawal was handed over charge as the new Speaker of the House by pro-tem Speaker Harbans Kapoor.
Introducing him in the Assembly, Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat described Aggarwal as a resolute man of action.
With no one else filing nomination for the post yesterday, Aggarwal's unopposed election as the Speaker was a foregone conclusion.
56-year-old Agrawal, who has an RSS background, has won from Rishikesh seat for a third time.
