‘Mai yahan ka khiladi hun’: Kiren Rijiju hits back at comparison with Rahul Gandhi over fitness
Union minister Kiren Rijiju shared a video of himself swimming in gushing waters of Arunachal Pradesh as he went on to explain why it is not an easy task.
Union parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju drew a line between himself and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the latter teased the minister's recent dip into the gushing Arunachal Pradesh rivers. Rijiju sternly stated that he is the "player here" in the fitness arena and does not require any training for such activities.
He claimed that these adventures have always been a part of his life. The minister also posted a video explaining why swimming in the rivers of Arunachal differs from swimming in pools or calmer waters, advising people not to go too deep due to the rivers' size and depth. Rijiju's comments come after a series of lighthearted exchanges between the two political rivals regarding fitness, including a conversation in Parliament last year and a jiu-jitsu challenge from Gandhi earlier this year.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is known for his fitness enthusiasm, recently shared his workout routine on Instagram, revealing a mix of martial arts, swimming, running, and yoga.
