Political career
Sayed entered politics in 2014, when she made her electoral debut by contesting the Maharashtra Assembly elections from the Ahmednagar constituency on a ticket from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). However, she was not successful in that election.[12]
In October 2019, Sayed formally joined the Shiv Sena. Her induction into the party took place in the presence of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. Following her joining, she was announced as the party's candidate for the Mumbra-Kalwa Assembly constituency in the 2019 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections.[13] She contested the 2019 election as the Shiv Sena candidate from Mumbra-Kalwa but was defeated by Jitendra Awhad, a leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), by a significant margin.[13]
Following the split in the Shiv Sena, Sayed aligned herself with the faction led by Eknath Shinde. She has since been associated with the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) and has participated in party activities and political programmes under its leadership. She is not part of the Shiv Sena faction led by Uddhav Thackeray.[14]
Controversies
In April 2023, Sayed filed a police complaint against her former personal assistant, Baburao Shinde, alleging he made defamatory statements and threats against her. Shinde had claimed she held Pakistani citizenship, owned properties abroad, and had links to underworld figures—claims Sayed denied as false. The police registered a case under sections related to defamation and criminal intimidation, and the matter remains under investigation.[15]
