TV Newsance 340 | From Arnab’s newsroom to BJP ticket: Santu Pan’s political jump

This week, TV Newsance heads to Tarakeshwar to follow the campaign of Santu Pan — once a Republic Bangla anchor, now a BJP candidate.

From mandir runs to “Jai Shri Ram” chants, we track how a primetime newsroom voice transforms into a full-time political one.

So what triggered the switch? Santu Pan says it was his arrest while reporting on Sandeshkhali that pushed him into politics. Add to that a mysterious phone call from the BJP — and just like that, the journalist quits his job and joins hands with Amit Shah.

Also in this episode:
– What do people in Bengal really think of Santu Pan?
– Is Arnab Goswami upset?

Watch till the end — and tell us: when journalists turn netas, what happens to journalism?
