PANAJI: Former minister and opposition leader Kashinath Jhalmi passed away on Sunday evening after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife Vidya and son Kurund. He was undergoing treatment at the Goa Medical College and hospital, Bambolim, for the past few days as he was suffering from cardiac problems.
Former MGP colleague Ramakant Khalap said, "Jhalmi's erudition and commitment to public causes was so intense that he would try to go to the root of the issue." MGP leader Pandurang Dhavalikar said Jhalmi was a dedicated member of the party and helped him take a bow into politics.
