With the Mojo TV channel being shut, the livelihood of employees is at stake. The new management has asked the staff to take one-month extra salary and tender resignations.
This prompted several employees to launch a protest against the new management’s diktat. In the process, they tried to seek the help of the journalist associations. However, the associations’ heads are unable to keep their foot in due to the channel owner’s alleged close ties with CM KCR.
In a desperate bid, the protesting employees have now found a ray of hope in KCR’s arch-rival and TPCC Working President Revanth Reddy. The Malkajgiri MP has been at loggerheads with the said industrialist and KCR since a long time.
Even the TV channels that are managed by the industrialist had given extensive coverage when Revanth’s house was raided by IT sleuths during the general elections.
Revanth taking up the issue and fighting for the Mojo TV employees will definitely give a political twist to the whole episode. We can surely expect Revanth to dig out all the unknown details and deals of Mojo TV’s acquisition. Whether he will be successful eventually or not remains to be seen.
