A Surya Prakash, right-wing columnist and fellow at the New Delhi-based Vivekananda International Foundation think tank, is set to succeed journalist Mrinal Pande as the chairperson of public-service broadcaster Prasar Bharati, officials said on condition of anonymity.

Surya Prakash has already been sounded out about the government's decision, senior officials said. His name was finalised from among several pro- Modi columnists. Others on the list were Swapan Dasgupta, the Bharatiya Janata Party's most visible face on the news channels, and columnist Kanchan Gupta, officials said.
