Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore, on Tuesday, tweeted a video of himself doing pushups and urged people to shoot a video of their “fitness mantra” and share it.
In return, India skipper Virat Kohli tagged India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a tweet about sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore’s ‘#FitnessChallenge’ and got the PM to accept!
Without wasting much time our Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning tweeted his response to Virat Kohli’s fitness challenge. “Challenge accepted,” he wrote in reply to the cricketer, promising to share his own fitness video soon. Besides PM Modi.
Challenge accepted, Virat! I will be sharing my own #FitnessChallenge video soon. @imVkohli #HumFitTohIndiaFit https://t.co/qdc1JabCYb

The Fit India movement was initiated by PM Modi in March. He even talked about the movement in his Mann Ki Baat radio talk in April and released a 3D-animated video of himself depicting the ‘Trikonasana’ posture.
“Last month, I had urged people to participate in the Fit India Movement. I am glad with the overwhelming support for the movement. Many people have written to me about fitness, their experiences and what they do. I want to urge everyone to exercise for a healthy lifestyle,” he had said on the monthly programme.
