The singer responded, “We tried to go to Bihar. We had attempted to go to Bihar last time as well. But they said it was difficult to manage the crowd. They asked if we would take responsibility for it. I said that we couldn’t; they would have to take that responsibility. Since they didn’t, we couldn’t go.”“It’s difficult to manage the crowd. It’s not just a small gathering; it’s a massive crowd. I had to consider the logistics; it’s like organising an event in Delhi,” added Diljit, explaining why Bihar couldn’t be a stop on both his tours recently.He also alleged that “a lot of people tried to stop” his Delhi concert, but he managed to pull it off, adding that it was “tough”.“I don’t want to say what the problems were. I do shows all over the world. There are always problems. But when the India show starts, problems start, especially for me. I don’t know why.”Also Read – ‘I’m an artiste, bro’: Diljit Dosanjh puts Punjab and politics centre stage at Delhi showLast year, Diljit Dosanjh toured across 13 Indian cities as part of the Dil-Luminati Tour.
