Lalu launches “Mahua TV”
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Union Railway Minister Lalu Prasad on Saturday launched a new Bhojpuri general category television channel, “Mahuaa TV,” at a function held at a hotel here.
The launch was attended by several Bhojpuri cinema superstars like Manoj Tewari, Manoj Vajpayee and film-maker Prakash Jha.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Prasad observed that “Bhojpuri is the mother of Hindi language.” Describing Bhojpuri as a precious pearl, he said the launch of the new channel amounted to a re-discovery of Bhojpuri.
The chairman and managing director of the channel, P.K. Tewari, said, “ There is an unmatched demand for Bhojpuri content across the Bhopuri population and this channel would seek to preserve the heritage and culture of Bhojpuri-speaking people.” “There are over 20 crore people who speak Bhojpuri in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand and other parts of the country,” he added.
