Since the Chief Minister himself was going to participate in this program and Arijit Singh was going to start the program with the song ‘Rang de tu mohe gerua…’. In such a situation, the government has canceled it. After this allegation of BJP, the West Bengal government has given clarification. Said that the dates of the film festival and the G-20 program were clashing with each other. In such a situation, the concert has been canceled due to the possibility of obstruction in the event of G-20 due to Arijit Singh’s program.

Dilwale movie song issue
According to information, ‘Rang De Tu Mohe Gerua…’ is the main song of Shahrukh Khan starrer film Dilwale. Apart from this, it is the most popular song of Arijit Singh. The song was screened at the Kolkata Film Festival along with a Bengali song. West Bengal minister Firhad Hakim told that in view of the G-20 programme, permission has not been granted for Arijit Singh’s programme. He has given the reason for this that both the programs were to be held in the same campus and there was a possibility of affecting the G-20 program due to Arijit Singh’s program. While all foreign delegates are going to participate in this program.
The program was proposed on 18 February
According to the program proposed so far, Arijit Singh’s concert was to be held on 18 February. But now the government has said that this program will happen again sometime. Sarkar said that there is a possibility of huge crowd in Arijit Singh’s program. Due to this, law and order can be spoiled. It is being told that a Salman Khan show has also been postponed. This show was also proposed in the same premises. Although its date was fixed on 20 January.
Amit Malviya targeted
BJP leader Amit Malviya has targeted the cancellation of the concert. He said that Amitabh Bachchan had just given a big statement on freedom of expression in this very Kolkata. But here Mamta government stopped Ajit Singh from singing the song. Along with this, a Bengali Projapati by Mithun Chakraborty was not allowed to be released in a government theatre. This was done because Mithun is associated with BJP.
