The BJP alleged that the February 18 concert was cancelled as Mr Singh had recently sung 'rang de tu mohe gerua' in the presence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Leaders of West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress and Opposition BJP exchanged barbs on Thursday over the cancellation of a scheduled concert of singer Arijit Singh in the New Town area near Kolkata.
The BJP alleged that the February 18 concert was cancelled as Mr Singh had recently sung 'rang de tu mohe gerua', which has the word 'saffron', in the presence of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the inauguration of the 28th Kolkata International Film Festival.
The TMC rubbished the charge and claimed that the show was cancelled because of a G20 meeting, while asserting that the BJP is "not the custodian of saffron colour".
It said the show will be held on the same date and a hunt for an alternate location is on.
