All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader Imtiaz Jaleel has demanded a referendum on the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government's move to rename Aurangabad as Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, as he said that only people can take a decision on the name change and not any leader sitting in Delhi or Mumbai.

The Union government last month approved the renaming of Aurangabad city as 'Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar' and that of Osmanabad city as 'Dharashiv'.
