Union Ministers Kiren Rijiju and Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore often hit the gym together
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."
