A new controversy has arisen regarding Bollywood singer Arijit Singh. In fact, one of his concerts scheduled in Calcutta has been canceled by a government agency. After this, BJP has started to give political color to this. BJP’s Amit Malviya said in this matter that this was done because Arijit Singh had sung his famous song ‘Gerua’ in front of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the opening of the Kolkata International Film Festival.
Malviya wrote in his tweet: “Mr. Bachchan spoke about the lack of space for civil liberties and freedom of expression at the Kolkata Film Festival. Arijit Singh, who sang ‘Rang de tu mohe gerua’ with Mamata Banerjee at the stage, now the government body WB HIDCO has canceled their show at Ecopark”. Let us tell you this song is by Shahrukh Khan starring ‘Dilwale’ and it is one of Arjit’s most popular songs. It was one of the songs that he performed in KIFF apart from the famous Bengali songs of his.
Mr. Bachchan was right when he talked about shrinking space for civil liberties and free speech at the Kolkata Film Festival.
Arijit Singh, who sang “Rang de tu mohe gerua”, with Mamata Banerjee on the dais, now has his show at EcoPark canceled by HIDCO, a government agency of the World Bank.

On the other hand, according to the NNI news agency report, West Bengal Minister Firhad Hakim said that permission was not given for Arijit Singh’s show because the G20 show is also scheduled in the same region. . Firhad Hakim said, “The program to commemorate India’s G20 Presidency will also be held at the convention hall, just opposite Eco Park. (Arjit Singh’s music concert will also be held here.) Many foreign guests attended that show. It is expected to be.”
The minister further said, “A large crowd would have gathered for Arijit Singh’s show and it would have been difficult to handle. The police felt that holding such a large event could lead to public order problems.”
Tell them that the Arijit Singh concert was to be held on February 18, but now the government has said that the show should be moved to another venue. It has been said in reports that a Salman Khan show will also be held at the same venue on January 20.
