Sonu Nigam Reacts Strongly After Rajasthan CM and Delegates Leave Jaipur Concert

Popular playback singer Sonu Nigam has voiced his displeasure after Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma and other delegates reportedly left his musical concert midway in Jaipur on Monday. The incident occurred during Nigam’s performance, which was part of a high-profile event attended by various dignitaries.

In a statement following the concert, Nigam expressed his shock and disappointment, calling the action an “insult” to Saraswati, the revered goddess of music and arts in Hindu mythology. He emphasized that such behavior was disrespectful, particularly in the context of a musical event meant to celebrate art and culture.

The concert, which had drawn a large audience, saw the Chief Minister and other high-profile figures leave shortly after Nigam’s performance began. Reports suggest that the reasons behind the early exit remain unclear, with speculation around scheduling conflicts or other commitments. However, Nigam did not hold back in criticizing the move, stressing that it was an affront not only to him but also to the art form he represents.

Nigam, known for his wide-ranging career in playback singing, has been involved in multiple cultural events and concerts across India and abroad. His comment about the incident is expected to fuel debates on the treatment of artists and the importance of maintaining respect for artistic events, particularly when they carry cultural significance.The Rajasthan government has not yet issued an official response to the singer’s claims, but it is expected that further clarification on the matter will be provided in the coming days.
