He wrote, "The scenes of dead bodies floating in the Ganges and Yamuna are frightening. It is painful to see that the dead bodies could not be given to loved ones for the last rites. Is this our great nation? Any respect for the living or dead in the government. No. Our plea is falling on deaf ears."

On Monday, ETV Bharat had published the news of more than 50 bodies scattered on Mahadeva Ghat in Chausa block. After reaching the spot, the BDO of Chausa had confirmed the news and said that these bodies have come here from Uttar Pradesh.
