Radio can be a very powerful weapon to
reach out to the masses at minimum expense. Prime Minister Narendra Modi
understands this and has delivered two talks, “Man Ki Baat”, on the radio.
Entrepreneurs have been quick to sense the power of the radio after its
sensible use by Modi and are rushing to Shastri Bhawan, which houses the
Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, to get radio licences at the
earliest. The ministry is making a move to issue more and more FM radio
licences to spread the reach of the government to the masses. Businessmen
running other businesses who have not been able to enter the mainstream media
do not want to lose this opportunity. Surprisingly, it has been noticed that
business houses who are running Ponzi schemes in the financial sector and
siphoned millions of rupees by duping the poor are also applying for FM radio
licences. Most of the Ponzi scheme operators are under CBI and Intelligence
Bureau scanning. It has to be seen how the fiery and energetic
advocate-turned-politician, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Arun
Jaitley, keeps a watch and sees to it that no unscrupulous or financial
jugglers get licences. Will the Shastri Bhawan officials keep manipulators
away?
