Priyanka Gandhi alleged over 700 teachers died in Uttar Pradesh during the polls, including a pregnant woman who was forced to attend polling duty for the Panchayat elections.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi has said more than 700 teachers lost their lives during poll duty for the recently held Panchayat polls in Uttar Pradesh and what is happening in UP is a crime against humanity.

In a series of tweets, she accused the Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh of covering up truth and terrorising public and medical community both."What is happening in UP is nothing less than a crime against humanity and the CEO is playing along."She said over 700 teachers died in Uttar Pradesh during the polls, including a pregnant woman who was forced to attend polling duty for the Panchayat elections.

"These elections have been conducted in almost 60,000 gram sabhas of UP without any thought of the catastrophic onslaught of the second wave. Meetings were conducted, campaigning continued and the spread of COVID in UP's villages is now unstoppable. People are dying in numbers far, far above the deceitful official figures, "she added.

People are dying in homes across rural UP, and these deaths are not being counted as COVID because people aren't being tested, she said.The government's actions are designed to cover up the truth and terrorise both the public and the medical community, which is working tirelessly to save lives.
