Modi also issued a challenge to Karnataka’s new chief minister HD Kumaraswamy, tennis player Monika Batra and “the entire fraternity of brave IPS officers, especially those above 40”.
Union Minister and Olympics silver medalist, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, had started this challenge on Twitter to highlight the importance of fitness and regular exercise. Those nominated in the tweet were required to post a video of an exercise from their workout and pass on the challenge to as many people as possible.
The trend caught up quickly, with celebrities, sportsmen and politicians taking up the challenge and posting their videos on Twitter and other social media. Indian cricket team’s captain Virat Kohli posted his own video and challenged Modi, which the PM accepted promptly.

I believe physical fitness is important for all&support d cause. Yoga-treadmill r part of my daily workout regime.Yet, I am more concerned about development fitness of my state&seek ur support for it.
