Jalalpur has a more prominent profile in the states politics than most other similarly populated towns. In of the Uttar Pradesh assemblies, Jalalpur sent the lone Communist Party of India (Marxist) MLA to the state assembly. This was more due the high regard the local population had of the candidate Shri Bhagwati Prasad rather than communistic leanings in the population. Due to this, in the subsequent election, the CPI(M) unleashed all its big guns on this out of the way seat in a effort to retain it. This led to political heavyweights like Shri Jyoti Basu landing up in Jalalpur. (During his visit he stayed at the house of Dr Ghosh, locally famous as Doctor Bangali). Lately Jalalpur is one of the strongholds of the BSP and during visits by Mayawati (the current Chief Minister) - the whole town appears to be overrun by her supporters from all around.

Jalalpur is also notorious for regular occurrence of riots. Earlier these used to be sectarian i.e. mainly between the Shia and Sunni sects of Muslims. However in recent years, after emergence of the BJP, Hindu Muslim riots have also occurred.
