Kolkata EVM Fire and Allegations of Election Rigging

June 13, 2026

If we get the electronic data, we will prove that the Prime Minister of Hindustan became the Prime Minister by stealing. (Singing)

What's right

A fire in Kolkata destroyed approximately 4,000 EVMs [7].
The Trinamool Congress party suspects foul play and is demanding an investigation into the incident, believing it could be an attempt to destroy evidence after alleged tampering with democracy [7].
A Special Investigation Team has been formed by Kolkata Police to probe the fire [7].

What's wrong

There is no evidence in the provided sources to support the claim that the Prime Minister of Hindustan became Prime Minister by stealing electronic data [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].

What's debatable

The reel questions how the fire mysteriously reached the top floors where EVMs were stored while leaving middle floors untouched, implying a conspiracy [reel what is said in the video].
However, the provided sources do not offer details on the fire's origin or the specific damage to different floors, only that a large fire destroyed nearly 4,000 EVMs [7].

Breakdown

Allegations of Election Rigging and EVM Tampering The primary claim that the Prime Minister of Hindustan became Prime Minister by stealing electronic data is not supported by any of the provided sources [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. While Rahul Gandhi has made allegations regarding EVMs and the electoral process [2][3][8][10], and has called for vigilance regarding EVMs [9], these do not equate to proof of the Prime Minister stealing an election through electronic data.

Kolkata EVM Fire Incident A significant fire in Kolkata did destroy approximately 4,000 EVMs, and this incident has led to suspicions of foul play and demands for investigation from the Trinamool Congress party [7]. A Special Investigation Team has been formed to probe the fire [7].

The reel speculates about the nature of the fire, questioning how it reached certain floors while leaving others untouched, suggesting a conspiracy [reel what is said in the video]. However, the provided sources do not offer details to confirm or deny these specific aspects of the fire's progression or cause.

Lack of Evidence for Primary Claim Despite the mention of election data and EVMs, the core assertion that the Prime Minister gained power through stolen electronic data remains unsubstantiated within the given references. The sources discuss political rhetoric and concerns about EVMs but do not provide evidence for the specific claim made in the reel. [1][2][3]
