Goa Su-Raj Party condoles the passing away of one of the most controversial politician in Tai - Shashikala Kakodkar. With her passing away, the front door merger chapter of Goa with Maharashtra has ended. But, as we see it, the back-door merger of Goa into Maharashtra will continue as long as her father's brainchild, the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party - MGP breathes. The set-back that KONKANI, the mother tongue of Goans has suffered all through these years may be attributed to her obsession of Marathizization of Goa, which the Konkani lovers shall be reluctant to forget and forgive. However, apart form being a Marathi zombie, there is nothing on record that Tai was a corrupt politician, which distinction will be hard to be pinned on any of the present or past politicians. It is said that the only corruption that Tai indulged in was a paltry commission per seat from the Inter-state bus lobby. Tai would stand out as a SAINT compared to present day politicians. In her latter days, she realized the wrong course set by her father's brainchild MGP and we are given to believe that she was weighing options of either forming another Party or to join forces with the Congress to distance herself from MGP.
The Goa Su-Raj Party bids the Octogenerian politician of Goa, TAI, a farewell, where she will not need Marathi to pursue her heavenly carrier, with an assurance that GOA will remain with KONKANI always, to which she will have to come to terms with.
