Jawhar Sircar mentioned the change within the brand of coloration will ‘affect voters’ simply earlier than Lok Sabha 2024 elections.
The former CEO of Prasar Bharti and TMC MP Jawhar Sircar have criticised the brand new brand for the federal government’s flagship channel, Doordarshan News Channel. DD News revealed its new official brand on Tuesday, which is now saffron as a substitute of ruby purple.
The former Prasar Bharti CEO has questioned the need of making the change in time for the Lok Sabha elections. He took X ( previously generally known as Twitter) and wrote, “National broadcaster Doordarshan colours its historic flagship logo in saffron! As its ex-CEO, I have been watching its saffronisation with alarm and feel — it’s not Prasar Bharati any more — it’s Prachar Bharati! “
