Jaleel Khan (born 10 December 1954),[1] is an Indian politician from the state of Andhra Pradesh. He was MLA[2] of Vijayawada West constituency.
He was elected as MLA from YSR Congress in 2014 state assembly elections, beating his nearest rival, V. Srinivas, by a narrow margin.[2][3] Later in the 2016 he joined ruling Telugu Desam Party.[4] He was also elected as MLA [3] through the INC party in 1999.
Mr. Khan was among the most expected to get cabinet berth during the recent shuffle.[5] But things did not work out as expected for him. AP Chief Minister, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu, without further ado, has nominated Jaleel Khan as AP Waqf Board Chairman.[6][7] This is a very prominent position among Muslim minorities.
