Shocked at the sudden change of colour of Doordarshan logo : Mamata

Kolkata, Apr 20 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Saturday took strong exception to the change of colour of the Doordarshan logo.
Taking to X, Banerjee said, " I am shocked at the sudden saffronisation and change of colour of our Doordarshan logo when the national elections are taking place across the country. "
" It is absolutely unethical, grossly illegal, and speaks loudly of the pro-BJP bias of the national public broadcaster, " she added.
" How could the Election Commission of India allow this crude, pro-Saffron violation of the Model Code of Conduct when the people are in the electoral mode? " Banerjee asked.
" ECI must immediately stop it and reverse the change to go back to the original blue colour of the logo of Doordarshan, " the Chief Minister stated.
The announcement, which came through DD News' official X account, said, " While our values remain the same, we are now available in a new avatar. "
" Get ready for a new journey like never before. Experience the all-new DD News! "
