Late Sh. Sadhu Ram Saini continuously remained sarpanch of the village for a period that spanned well over 3 decades.

The livelihood of people here depends primarily on agriculture and some other agriculture allied occuations. Most inhabitants here belong to saini cast, but pandit, dalit, rajput, sikh, gadariya (shepherd community) and few others are also quite numerable like followers of Islam and Radha Swami.

Salehpur falls under the Mullana constituency in Rajya Vidhaan Sabha and Ambala constituency in Lok Sabha. Both of these constituencies are reserved for Dalit candidates only.

In the village there is Shiva temple, Nagar Kheda, Ravidas temple, Gurudwara and a Pir-Shrine. Residents here hold a strong belief in religious activities. As a result they ended up with two Gugga-Maadi in the village. There is also a government school up to class 5th.
