Trolls called Krishna anti-national, urban naxal after the singer retweeted AAI's tweet inviting audience to attend the concert. Twitterati ridiculed Krishna for his stand on political issues. Also, they targeted the organisers for hosting Krishna's concert.

"You should be ashamed of associating
with a guy who's notorious for insulting & degrading the
sacred art that feeds him. He's also known for bad-mouthing the
organisations that patronize him. In a way, he fits the definition
of #UrbanNaxal. Think!"

"We will Not Attend. He has insulted

CarnaticMusic by changing ageold Lyrics Looks like anyone who

hurts Hindu Religious Sentiments bcoms a hero in India."

"What is this nonsense . This joker @tmkrishna is earning by learning Hindu Carnatic
music and now acting like he is secular . Don't allow him in any
concert."
