New Delhi, April 8 : Carrying a bullet in his spine for more than two decades now, after he was shot six times, poet, revolutionary ballader and former Naxalite, Gaddar (Gummadi Vittal Rao), met Rahul and Sonia Gandhi when he was in Delhi to support the Save the Constitution movement.
He remembers singing three songs in Hindi and Sonia Gandhi asking him if there were any English translations of his entire literature. Although I sing in 14 languages, most of my songs have not been translated in English. So she asked me to send her some poems so that she could translate it, recalled the revolutionary singer.
