Other day Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated TV9’s national wide venture TV9 Bharavarsh, which will be the primetime Hindi news channel. As TV9 Telugu, Kannada and Marathi are already in the top slots, this new channel is now competing with real biggies in the news business.
When Modi came to inaugurate the channel, apparently he’s seen and heard uttering, ‘few of your employees are actually dead against me that they will drink my blood’. In reply to this, channel’s CEO Ravi Prakash said, “badlav la rahe hain ji” (We’re bringing the change sir).
And these comments are now understood by opposition leaders and common audiences that Ravi Prakash is promising a shuffle in the employees as Narendra Modi didn’t like a few. However, in the same conversation, Modi added, “Let the poor souls live. If their soul dies, we don’t get any fun”.
While the opposition is going gaga over this talk, TV9 network employees are saying that Ravi Prakash is talking about the ‘change in journalism’ but not changing the editorial team.
