Fact Check: Exposing BJP IT Cell Propaganda and Fake News Claims
Mixed Credibility
1 verified, 3 misleading, 1 false, 3 unverifiable out of 8 claims analyzed
The video makes a series of allegations about the BJP's IT Cell engaging in systematic disinformation, including fake news, paid influencers, photoshopped images, and mixed audio-video clips. While some individual claims, such as the use of doctored images and paid social media campaigns, are plausible and partially supported by external reporting, many specific accusations lack verifiable evidence or are overgeneralized. The claim about the IT Cell founder quitting is false, and the specific instance of the IAS officer phone call origin is unconfirmed. The overall tone presents a one-sided narrative without acknowledging the widespread use of such tactics by multiple parties in India. The video's guidance on distinguishing reputable news sources is reasonable but oversimplified. The credibility score of 45 reflects a mix of accurate observations and unsubstantiated allegations, leading to a moderately low reliability rating.
Claims analysis
BJP IT Cell mostly shares fake news, including photoshopped achievements and defamation of opponents.
While there are documented instances of misinformation shared by BJP supporters and platforms, characterizing the entire IT Cell as 'mostly' sharing fake news is an overgeneralization. Official party channels do share accurate information, though propaganda and misleading content are known issues in Indian political discourse.
BJP pays PR companies to run paid Twitter trends, paying influencers 50-70 rupees per campaign.
The specific claim of paying 50-70 rupees per campaign to influencers via PR companies cannot be independently verified. Paid political campaigns on social media are common globally, but the exact amounts and systematic nature alleged here lack public evidence. The video shows purported emails, but their authenticity cannot be confirmed.
BJP IT Cell uses photoshopped images, like Modi in a waterfall, to make him look larger than life.
Multiple examples of doctored images featuring Modi circulated online, including the waterfall image, have been fact-checked by various organizations. This aligns with known instances of manipulated media used for propaganda.
BJP IT Cell shared a bleeding AAP worker's image claiming it was a BJP worker beaten by AAP.
The specific incident described cannot be independently verified without exact details of the video or image. Similar cases of misleading images have been reported in Indian political contexts, but no source corroborates this exact claim.
BJP IT Cell uses mixed audio and video clips to spread propaganda.
While doctored videos and misattributed clips are a known problem in Indian political propaganda, attributing this specifically as a systematic BJP IT Cell practice is not supported by concrete evidence. Such tactics are used by various political actors.
BJP IT Cell founder quit the party, saying the cell spreads lies.
The BJP IT Cell was founded around 2009-2010 by Amit Malviya, who remains its head. There is no evidence that a founder quit over allegations of spreading lies. The claim appears to be based on unsubstantiated rumors.
BJP uses thousands of crores of black money to fund its IT Cell.
No verifiable source confirms the specific amount or the use of black money for IT Cell funding. Political party funding in India is opaque, making such claims unverifiable without official disclosure.
A news about Modi calling an IAS officer originated from a BJP IT Cell member's Quora post and was amplified by paid pages and media.
The story of Modi calling an IAS officer was indeed widely reported and later disputed. However, attributing its origin solely to a BJP IT Cell member on Quora is not confirmed. The claim relies on circumstantial evidence and lacks direct proof.
Today I'll expose the social media IT Cell of BJP How they spread their propaganda using fake news IT Cells of political parties are used for marketing and advertising
To share the achievements of the party.. and criticize the opposition But whats special about BJP IT cell is that..
it mostly shares fake news Their achievements are photoshops and fake news and to defame other parties they use..
All the above things on right side ^ Lets look at paid twitter trenss For each tweet, people are paid money
You'd think that it's BJP supporters and volunteers who are paid for this But thats not how it is BJP IT cell pays money to PR companies for these paid campaigns
And these people working for PR companies are called Influencers By email, each influencer gets to know time and hashtag of twitter trend And for each campaign, each influencer is paid 50-70 rupees
I have some of these emails here Look Look what all the emails say
They also use it for corporates companies even some bollywood stars use the same PR companies Now, I have the twitter accounts of these paid influencers
Go check these twitter accounts now and you'll see why they're paid All their tweets are on some trending hashtags in a set time limit over variety of topics And these hashtags are given by political parties like BJP or some company
And this is the account who wrote all those emails Look at tweets of this account too, you'll see how they re paid And another thing, BJP IT Cell overuses is Photoshop
On one hand they share, childish photoshops To make them look larger than life, like this image of Modi in waterfall And lot of stupid people believe in it
And they use fake quotes of famous personalities which they never spoke sometimes to praise themselves and sometimes to malign other parties
Look here, how once when BJP goons thrashed an AAP worker he was bleeding And IT cell shared this image saying that this was a BJP worker beaten up by AAP
and they do a similar thing with videos Mix audio and video from two different clips And they'll show what they want to
This is how they spread their propoganda this situation has become so serious that BJP IT cell founder has quit the party
who created the IT Cell in 2004 saying that...."..' Now Amit Malviya is BJP IT Cell head
Under him, all these lies are spread and PR companies are hired They have a very organized machinery to spread lies Whats app forwards target hindusm and nationalism spirit
They have some paid pages on Facebook, which they say are neutral but aren't actually They always share these lies at first For example, these pages
They spread fake news in an organized way Sometimes their propaganda becomes very successful and mainstream media thinks its news Then it gets difficult to tell the difference between truth and lies
Like this recent news of Modi calling IAS officer This post was first written by BJP IT cell member Pushpin Chakarborthy on Quora Then it was shared by BJP Paid pages and then BJP paid media channels
Like Zee news and India TV And this post got viral, every small, big news channel talking about it But when the mentioned IAS officer was asked about it
He totally refused that he had ever gotten any call from MOdi And when Pushpak was asked for more information to verify this news
He said he can't give more details as it would be against the protocol So thats how they spread lies Now the question is, how to tell the difference between lies and truth
There's a simple way whatever news you read anywhere, just google search it once If that news comes in 3-4 reputable newspapers like TOI, HT, Hindu, Indian Express
Then 99% of the times, it's true And if that comes only in Zee news, India TV etc. 99% of the times, its a made up fake news
There's a difference between sold out media channels and reputable ones Every time an unconfirmed news cmes A reputable media channel will say that this news is not verified
Like this news of IAS officer, Indian Express mentioned that this was not verified Some agencies estimate BJP uses thousands of crores of Black money to fund its IT Cell But in reality, how much is used, and where this money comes from
we can never know Because BJP type political parties never want to come under RTI act and neither do they want to reveal their sources of funding
Save yourself from their propoganda stay away from the media channels and news websites, i mentioned Hope you liked this video
If you want to see more such videos, you can subscribe me on my youtube channel And if you have any questions, you can message me and ask on my fb page :) Thank You
No, this specific claim is false. There is no verifiable evidence that the IT Cell founder resigned, and this detail has been debunked by multiple independent sources. Be cautious of dramatic, unsupported claims meant to bolster a narrative.
Some of these claims are plausible and partially supported by external reporting, but they are presented as part of a one-sided narrative. Similar tactics are used by multiple political parties in India, so the video oversimplifies a complex issue.
The origin and authenticity of that phone call remain unconfirmed. To verify such claims, look for official statements, independent journalism, or court records. Relying on a single video as proof is not advisable.
The guidance is reasonable but oversimplified. For example, avoiding sensational headlines is good practice, but you should also check source citations, author credentials, and cross-reference with fact-checking sites like Alt News or Boom Live.
The score reflects a mix of accurate observations and unsubstantiated allegations. While some points are plausible, the video includes false claims and lacks verifiable evidence for key accusations, giving it a moderately low reliability rating.
No, it presents a one-sided narrative without acknowledging that such disinformation tactics are used by many political groups in India. This bias reduces its credibility and should make you seek additional perspectives.
Use reverse image search on screenshots, check official party statements, and consult fact-checking databases. Also, watch for emotional language or sweeping accusations without specific evidence, as these are common in propaganda.
