The recent change in Doordarshan's logo to a saffron color has ignited a political controversy. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin have criticized the timing and nature of the change, suggesting it represents a 'saffronisation' by the BJP, particularly controversial during the Lok Sabha elections. The former CEO of Prasar Bharati also questioned the neutrality of this change. In response, the BJP described the new logo as a 'homecoming', while the public broadcaster defended the redesign with the slogan 'Bharosa Sach Ka'. Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur defended the change and criticized the Congress for their reaction. This logo redesign has sparked debates and criticisms just 48 hours after its unveiling.
