The challenge enclosed the opposition's list of government failures:

Soon, Congress leader Randeep Surjewala joined in with a series of tweets as well:

28-year-old Tejashwi Yadav has been managing the RJD since his father was jailed in January in a corruption case.

It is not the first time the young leader has taken to Twitter to attack the BJP. Last week, after the Karnataka Governor Vajubhai Vala invited the BJP to form the government as it was the single largest party, Tejashwi claimed that his party then, deserved a shot at power in Bihar. He even said he would meet the Bihar Governor to ask for his due.

His tweet prompted the Congress to follow suit.

On Wednesday, Tejashwi along with other opposition leaders participated at the oath ceremony of the news Chief Minister of Karnataka, H D Kumaraswamy

The fitness challenge, started by Union minister and Olympian Rajyavardhan Rathore on Tuesday, has taken social media by storm. Virat Kohli, who was tagged by the minister, posted a video of himself doing 20 spider planks and tossed the challenge to three others -- including the Prime Minister.

PM Modi, a practitioner of Yoga, responded this morning, tweeting, "Challenge accepted, Virat! I will be sharing my own #FitnessChallenge video soon".
