Breakdown
Scale of Incident The claim significantly understates the number of EVMs destroyed. Reports indicate that approximately 4,000 EVMs were gutted in a fire in Kolkata, not just 15 [4][5].
Lack of Evidence for TMC Connection There is no information in the provided sources to substantiate the claim that 13 of the burnt EVM machines were won by TMC. The focus of the reports is on the large-scale destruction of equipment and the subsequent political reactions and investigations into the cause of the fire [4][5][6].
Political Reactions While political parties, including the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the Congress, have raised concerns and alleged conspiracy, these statements do not confirm the specific numbers or the alleged TMC win-rate of the destroyed machines. The TMC questioned if the fire was an accident or an attempt to destroy evidence, and an Odisha Congress leader alleged a conspiracy and called for a switch to paper ballots [4][5][6].
