After Kohli, Rahul and Tejashwi challenge PM

Chandigarh, May 24

After India captain Virat Kohli challenged Narendra Modi in an online fitness dare, Congress president Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav also threw down new challenges to the Prime Minister.
Tejashwi tweeted, “While we have nothing against accepting fitness challenge from @imVkohli . I urge you to accept the challenge to provide jobs to young, relief to farmers, promise of no violence against dalits & minorities. Would you accept my challenge @narendramodi Sir?”Taking a cue, Congress president Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “Dear PM, Glad to see you accept the @imVkohli fitness challenge. Heres one from me: Reduce Fuel prices or the Congress will do a nationwide agitation and force you to do so. I look forward to your response.”Kohli, on Wednesday, had accepted the challenge of Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and posted a video of him doing Butt Plank on Twitter.
“I have accepted the #FitnessChallenge by Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore sir. Now I would like to challenge my wife @AnushkaSharma , our PM @narendramodi ji and @msdhoni bhai for the same. #HumFitTohIndiaFit #ComeOutAndPlay,” Virat had tweeted.
“Challenge accepted, Virat! I will be sharing my own #FitnessChallenge video soon,” Modi had tweeted from his personal handle to Kohli.The #FitnessChallenge, part of ‘Hum Fit Toh India Fit’ campaign, was started by Rathore on May 22, when he posted a video of him doing push-ups. In the same video, he threw challenge at Kohli, actor Hrithik Roshan, and badminton champ Saina Nehwal.
The Fit India movement was initiated by Prime Minister Modi in March, which has been gaining momentum since then. He even talked about the movement in April’s Mann Ki Baat 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 it then.
