Kolkata: The death of Bollywood playback singer KK seems to be stirring up a political row as BJP’s national vice-president Dilip Ghosh accused the Mamata Banerjee-led Bengal government of the former’s death.
He blamed the Kolkata administration for “utter chaos” during the KK’s concert.
The popular singer passed away at Kolkata’s Grand Hotel soon after he returned from the show. He had complained of heat during the show.
The auditorium was packed to capacity. According to some accounts, the venue exceeded its capacity as fans with and without passes crowded in and around the auditorium to catch a glimpse of their favourite singer.
Reacting to such reports, Ghosh accused the government of “failing to provide proper protection to celebrities” and “losing control over administration”. “Mismanagement creates this type of a situation when a celebrity visits. The administration has a responsibility to provide protection to such celebrities,” he said.
“Just imagine the state inside the hall after the AC was switched off in such heat. I don’t know if he became ill due to that, eventually leading to his demise. It seems the government doesn’t have any control,” Dilip Ghosh said.
