Arnab Goswami is India’s angry young man. Love him or hate him, you cant ignore him. Every night he picks up one topic, often picks a side, and then lambasts all the people on the other side. Yes he screams, yes he shouts, but he also has the highest TRPs. And on a macro-level, if you see his coverage he seems to be more neutral than most of India’s left-inclined anchors: He hounded the NDA Government for almost 2 weeks in a row to sack Sushma Swaraj over the Lalit-gate issue. He went after the Congress on the Agusta Westland scam. He attacked AAP over the fake degree issue.
And yesterday, he lost his cool. Known Congress sympathiser masquerading as an “independent” commentator, Sanjay Hegde was at the receiving end as he tried to allege that since Arnab is related to some BJP leaders, he is biased. Arnab does no take allegations on his independence lightly:

This was not the first time. 2 years back BJP leader Meenakshi Lekhi had alleged that he received money from the Government, and she too got an Arnab special:

Then there was the time when Ashutosh of AAP got a earful from Arnab. Ashutosh actually thought he could extract an apology from Arnab!

During a debate on the Shashi Throor issue, Arnab literally asked Congress representative Shehzad Poonawala to leave the debate, humiliating him repeatedly for trying to disturb the debate:

And of course there was the time when the JNU students namely Umar Khalid and his friends, got on the wrong side of Arnab Goswami:
