Maharashtra: Aurangabad, Osmanabad Districts' Too Will Be Renamed, Says Dy CM Fadnavis
News 18Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said the names of Aurangabad and Osmanabad districts too would be changed to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv, respectively, just like the civic areas. However, Shiv Sena leader Ambadas Danve had, on Saturday, claimed the change of name of Aurangabad and Osmanabad as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Dharashiv, respectively, only applied to the civic limits and not the entire districts and had questioned the Centre and Eknath Shinde government on this. Once the names are changed, the Maharashtra government will communicate to the Airport Authority of India and Indian Railways to make necessary changes to their software and codes allotted for these cities,” Fadnavis said. Meanwhile, Fadnavis alleged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had made an ”insulting remark” about VD Savarkar during the day, which happened to be the Hindutva ideologue’s death anniversary, but the Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray was silent on it.
