Name will never be erased

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar will never be erased from the city. There should not have been opposition to the renaming of the district. But some fanatics have shown their true colours. They say that there were Muslims in Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's army. So why do they object to the name Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

---Raja Singh Thakur, MLA-Telangana

Give a clear message to the objectors

The dream of Shiv followers has come true thanks to deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. The elevation of Aurangzeb in Marathwada and Afzal Khan in western Maharashtra continues. Give a clear answer to those who object to the name Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.
