Political career

[edit]

Initially Jaleel worked as a journalist forLokmatandNDTV.[8]He entered politics in 2014 when he contested assembly seat from Aurangabad Central assembly constituency forAll India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen(MIM). He started his campaign 22 days before the polling and defeated the sittingShiv SenalegislatorPradeep Jaiswalby a margin of around 20,000 votes.[9][10]

On 23 April 2015, under the leadership of Imtiaz Jaleel, MIM won 25 seats in theAurangabad Municipal Corporationelections.[11]During DPDC meeting which was held on 29 January 2015, Imtiyaz Jaleel raised the issue of costly MRI charges at the government-run hospital in Aurangabad. Then District Guardian MinisterRamdas Kadamdirected GMCH authorities to reduce the charges of MRI scan from Rs 1,800 to Rs 700.[12]

On 14 October 2017, Jaleel had filed a public interest litigation (PIL) before the Aurangabad bench of Bombay high court, seeking direction to the state government to allot seven acres of land to build a 200-bed hospital for women and children in Aurangabad. The court had directed the state and district administration to file a reply within six months.[13][14]

On 26 March 2019, MIM decided to contest Aurangabad Lok Sabha seat in Maharashtra in alliance with theVanchit Bahujan Aghadiled byPrakash Ambedkar.MIM PresidentAsaduddin Owaisihad picked Imtiyaz Jaleel as the party candidate.[15]

Jaleel won the Aurangabad Lok Sabha seat defeating the four-time sitting MP from the Shiv Sena,Chandrakant Khaire,with a slim margin of 4,492 vote. Commenting on the results, Chitra Lele, professor of political science atSNDTUniversity said, “By not raking up national issues and shunning criticism of Narendra Modi, Jaleel avoided polarisation of votes on religious lines. On the other hand, a split in the votes going to Khaire, and AIMIM’s alliance with VBA ensured that he gets votes fromdalitsand other deprived communities”.[16][17]

Since 2021, Jaleel sits on the MaharashtraWaqf Board.[18]

In the2024 Lok Sabha election,Jaleel lost toSandipanrao BhumreofShiv Senaby 134,650 votes.[19]
