Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday demanded a judicial probe headed by a high court judge into bodies floating in the Ganga in Uttar Pradesh and said what is happening is inhuman and criminal.
She tweeted, what is happening in UP is inhuman and criminal, the government is busy image building while people are suffering unimaginably. In another tweet, she wrote, bodies are floating in the ganga in Ballia and Ghazipur. Reports are coming in of mass burials on the banks of the river in Unnao. Official numbers from cities like Lucknow, Gorakhpur, Jhansi and Kanpur appear to be grossly under-reported.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said the government must be held accountable for "failing" its people badly. He tweeted, that bodies found floating in the Ganges are not a statistic, they're someone's father, mother, brother and sister. What has transpired shakes you to your core.

The chief minister and the governor of West Bengal got involved in a war of words on Wednesday. CM Mamata Banerjee wrote to the governor claiming that his planned visit to post-poll violence-affected Cooch Behar district violates norms. Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar hit back saying he is discharging duties mandated by the Constitution.
The governor is scheduled to visit areas affected by post-poll violence in Cooch Behar district on Thursday. On May 14, he will visit camps in Assam where some people from West Bengal have reportedly taken refuge due to the skirmishes.
In her letter, Banerjee also alleged that Dhankhar, exceeding his power, has been directly communicating with state government officers and dictating them, though she had earlier requested him to refrain from doing so.
The governor, in his reply, urged the chief minister to commit herself to the Constitution as she has taken an oath to uphold it.
