The decision to rename Gurgaon was taken by the first BJP government of the state.
Randeep, who hails from Haryana's Rohtak, questioned the '
namkaran' on Twitter:
The 39-year-old actor added that Gurgaon should have been renamed 'Gurugaon' instead.
"I mean that in Haryanvi we have the word '
gaav or
gaam. They could have changed it to Gurugaon," the actor said.
