Ahmedabad, Mar 27: A video purportedly showing BJP MP from Porbandar Vitthal Radadiya kicking an elderly man at a religious function has gone viral on social media.
However, Radadiya has denied kicking the person. While talking to reporters last night, he said the man seen in the video was at a religious function where he was "trying to spread superstition".
The purported video showed Radadiya, in his signature white shirt and trousers, approaching an elderly man sitting in a makeshift tent at the function.
An agitated Radadiya was seen kicking the elderly person who prayed to be spared.The video also showed Radadiya picking up the man's belongings and gesturing him to leave the spot.
The video was apparently shot at a religious function held at Jamkandorna in Rajkot district about a week back.
Denying that he kicked the person, Radadiya said he only asked him to leave the place.
Radadiya was earlier at the centre of a controversy in 2012 when a video had gone viral in which he was purportedly seen wielding gun at a toll booth staff at Karjan near Vadodara.
In that video, Radadiya, who was then a Congress MP, was seen coming out of his car with a rifle in his hand and threatening to kill the toll booth staff when he asked for his ID proof.
There are also several police cases registered against him for alleged offences against government officials.

The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

You reap what you sow... This BJP/Sanghi MP kicking an elderly man is is actually a subtle message to all those who voted these Sanghi thugs into power.
Whatever the party he belongs to , an old man was just sitting in the religious function chatra and this MP is continuously kicking him in his shoes. What kind of human he is???? if the party high command have the respect for human being, then they should kick him out from the party and ask his resignation as an MP. He is not deserve to be called and Member of Parliament. Shame on him.
