Original promoter of NaMo TV denies running channel on PM Modi anymore

The channel was originally run by a Gujarat based company whose promoter denies being behind the channel's re-appearance on the airwaves.

One of the original promoters of a company that first aired NaMo TV, a channel dedicated to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has said that he or his company isn't involved in running the channel anymore. NaMo TV beamed on major direct-to-home networks Sunday.

“We were earlier involved with NaMo TV. We are not running it anymore,” Sujay Mehta told Business Standard over the phone from Ahmedabad.

Mehta was asked when and to whom he transferred operations of NaMo TV. He replied, “I am not involved anymore. I do not know anything.”

The BJP hasn’t officially claimed ownership of NaMo TV,
