NaMo TV goes off air after Lok Sabha polls

NaMo TV, a BJP-sponsored channel that publicised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rallies and other poll messages, has gone off air, party sources said. They said it went off air on May 17 when all campaigns for the Lok Sabha election ended.

A BJP leader, requesting anonymity, said, “NaMo TV was meant as a tool of BJP campaign for the Lok Sabha election. With the polls over, it is no longer needed, so effective May 17, when all campaign has to be paused, it has also gone off air.” The channel was mired in controversy ever since it went on air.
