स्वरसम्राज्ञी लतादिदी आपल्यातून देहाने नाहीशा झाल्या. हे अत्यंत दुःखद आहे. पण त्या त्यांच्या अमृत स्वरांनी अजरामर आहेत. अनादि आनंदघन म्हणून त्या स्वर अंबरातून आपल्यावर स्वरअमृत शिंपीत राहतील, अशा शोकमग्न भावनांसह मुख्यमंत्र्यांनी लतादिदी यांना भावपूर्ण श्रद्धांजली अर्पण केली आहे.

लता दीदी प्रखर देशभक्त थी। स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकर जी की विचारधारा पर उनकी हमेशा ही दृढ़ श्रद्धा रही है। उनका जीवन अनेक उपलब्धियों से भरा रहा है। लता जी हमेशा ही अच्छे कामों के लिए हम सभी को प्रेरणा देती रही हैं। भारतीय संगीत में उनका योगदान अतुलनीय है।

सब देशवासियों की तरह मेरे लिए भी उनका संगीत बहुत ही प्रिय रहा है, मुझे जब भी समय मिलता है मैं उनके द्वारा गाए गए नगमें जरूर सुनता हूं। ईश्वर दिवंगत आत्मा को शांति प्रदान करे और परिजनों को संबल दे। ॐ शांति।
