Gaddar, a well-known singer and former Naxalite supporter, has passed away. Minister KTR, representing the state government, paid tribute to Gaddar's contributions to the Telangana state in the Assembly. KTR mentioned that Gaddar will always be remembered as long as Telangana Culture exists. "He was a remarkable individual and his absence will be deeply felt," added KTR. He offered his condolences and hopes for peace for Gaddar's soul and expressed sympathy to his family. Gaddar had been a strong supporter of the Telangana movement. In 2017, he cut ties with the Maoists, even though he hadn't been an active Maoist since 2010. Interestingly, Gaddar, who once believed voting was pointless, cast his vote for the very first time during the 2018 Assembly elections.
