Do you have the concert ticket and your friends currently hate you while you can’t wait to Snapchat it live while singing along to Chris Martin?

While the lucky fans in our country have blocked November 19 for experiencing Coldplay live, in another world, the news floating around is not a happy one.  According to recent reports, the BJP government is getting a lot of flak from Congress for giving major concessions for the concert, as a ploy for getting more votes in the coming year’s polls.

Twitter, the ranting ground, of course roared back in chorus.

Not making this up: Congress wants @Coldplay Mumbai concert scrapped because BJP 'using it to woo voters & violating Municipal poll code'.

Dear Congress, Thanks for doing this.
Now that you are trying to get #ColdplayIndia scrapped
More of a reason that people wont vote you! https://t.co/8xB2sQeAO2

Metallica fans smile quietly to themselves, internalising the deep, deep pain they still feel. https://t.co/m8ksvfbI9T

Go home, Congress. You’re drunk, beaten, slapped, humiliated and have been looking like a caricature for a long time now. https://t.co/2tZ47sRtHS

Was a political intervention really required for this? Can our country no longer enjoy the freedom to experience art without impromptu delays anymore?  We know. This angers us as much as it angers you right now.
