The opposition in Maharashtra, Congress-NCP on Thursday attacked the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance for waiver of entertainment tax and rentals to the Global Citizen India’s upcoming mega-event in which British rock band Coldplay is scheduled to perform here on November 19.
Head of the Mumbai unit of the Congress, Sanjay Nirupam, has written to the State Election Commissioner asking him to either postpone the concert or give permission for it only after a set of local polls are completed. He’s been backed in this demand by the Nationalist Congress Party.
The star-studded event, which is reported to be a total sellout, will feature performances by Jay Z and a host of Bollywood celebrities including Aamir Khan, A.R. Rahman, Arjun Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar, Kareena Kapoor-Khan, Katrina Kaif, Malaika Arora-Khan, Ranveer Singh, , Shah Rukh Khan, Shraddha Kapoor, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, as well as sportspersons Sachin Tendulkar, Sakshi Malik, Vijender Singh and many others.
Hope everything goes as planned.
