Swati Kerkar and Kiran Nayak were appointed vice-presidents of the party but Subhash Velingkar neither held any post nor will contest any elections.

130 primary schools operated by the Church's Diocesan Society of Education overnight changed their medium of instruction from English to Konkani.

[9] Kakodkar also decided not to permit the establishment of any new primary schools imparting education in English, but this policy was not adhered to by the subsequent governments.

This led to the establishment of several primary schools imparting education in other Indian languages including Kannada,[12] Telugu, Hindi and Urdu.

The Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch - Forum For Protection Of Indian Languages was established to oppose the decision of the Digambar Kamat-led government.

[18][19] Parrikar blamed the Digambar Kamat regime for the problem[20] and issued a notification stating that henceforth, only those primary schools providing education in Konkani and Marathi languages would receive grants.

[24][25] The Bharatiya Bhasha Suraksha Manch decided to form a political party to contest the 2017 Goa Legislative Assembly election over the medium of instruction issue.

[26] Subhash Velingkar was subsequently dropped from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh as the Goa chief due to his decision to float a political party[27] and Laxman Behre was appointed in his place.
