OccupationPolitician

Jaleel Khan (born 10 December 1954), is an Indian politician from the state of Andhra Pradesh. He was MLA 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. Later in the 2016 he joined ruling Telugu Desam Party. He was also elected as MLA through the INC party in 1999.

Mr. Khan was among the most expected to get cabinet berth during the recent shuffle. 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. This is a very prominent position among Muslim minorities.
