Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore today urged cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Hrithik Roshan to join a social media campaign that seeks to encourage people to keep fit -- and posted a video that showed the minister doing push-ups to press home the point.
He made a pitch for exercise on Twitter and urged netizens to share pictures and videos on the site to show how they kept fit.
"Whenever I see the prime minister, I get inspired...He wants all of India to be fit," Rathore said in the video, before starting with a round of push-ups.
"Post pictures and videos of how you keep yourself fit and send a #FitnessChallenge to your friends on social media," he tweeted.
The sports minister called on Kohli, Roshan and badminton champion Saina Nehwal to join the campaign 'HumFitTohIndiaFit'.
"Here's my video and I challenge @iHrithik, @imVkohli & @NSaina to join in," Rathore tweeted.
