Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday said the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government`s decision to rename Aurangabad city when it had been reduced to minority was illegal, and it will be ratified again in the next cabinet meeting.
The Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government announced the renaming of Aurangabad in central Maharashtra as `Sambhajinagar` -- after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj`s elder son Chhatrapati Sambhaji -- in its last cabinet meeting on June 29, hours before Thackeray resigned.
