The renaming rumpus has reared its ugly head again. The big debate is about renaming Aurangabad as Sambhajinagar. Reports state that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government is split, with the Shiv Sena saying it wants to rename Aurangabad and the Congress objecting.

Add to this scenario the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) mocking former ally Shiv Sena for going back on its promise. Not to be outdone, the Sena, in turn, has asked the BJP what it did while in power. One more twist to the mix — Congress is being accused of not agreeing to the name change to avoid alienating its Muslim vote bank and erode its so-called secular credentials.
