New Delhi: On Wednesday, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju posted a 37-second long clip of his colleague Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore hitting the gym. In the video, the former Olympic silver medallist effortlessly does a series of push-ups on an exercise ball as "Eye of the Tiger," the theme song from the classic film Rocky blares in the background. No wonder then that Twitter is flooded with a series of tweets saying #FitnessGoals.
"While doing duty we've no time for physical fitness. But my Olympian colleague...gives me a tough challenge," Mr Rijiju, the Minister of State for Home Affairs, writes in a caption accompanying the video.
In response, the Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Mr Rathore writes: "Ha ha ha...despite your hectic schedule, you are beyond competition and an inspiration."
Sports Minister Vijay Goel chimes in, calling Mr Rathore India's "very own Rocky Balboa."
On Thursday morning, Mr Rijiju shared this video, tweeting that Mr Rathore inspired him to take 30 minutes out of his busy day to work out.
