Renaming of Aurangabad and Osmanabad, which was one of the last decisions taken by the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government, had reinvigorated Maharashtra pride, the Shiv Sena has said.

In an editorial in the party mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Sena on Thursday said by naming the Navi Mumbai airport after D B Patil, who worked for the rights of project affected people in Navi Mumbai, the Thackeray-led government had honoured the struggle of the sons of the soil.
