New Delhi: The Prime Minister office has revealed how much was spent on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s fitness video, which was released in June. The revelation came in an RTI response, where the government has claimed “No money was spent in making the video”. A week ahead of Yoga Day on June 13, PM Modi took to his Twitter and shared a fitness video, where he could be seen performing Yoga on a huge rock, barefoot. PM was seen wearing a black coloured pants and a black T-shirt. The video came after Indian Cricket team captain Virat Kohli challenged PM Modi, in the then trending fitness challenge. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor had claimed that an amount of Rs 35 lakh was spent in recording PM Modi’s fitness video, but the claim was rejected by PMO, stating that ‘no money was spent in maing the video. The video was recorded in PM’s house.’

Here are moments from my morning exercises. Apart from Yoga, I walk on a track inspired by the Panchtatvas or 5 elements of nature - Prithvi, Jal, Agni, Vayu, Aakash. This is extremely refreshing and rejuvenating. I also practice breathing exercises. #HumFitTohIndiaFit pic.twitter.com/km3345GuV2
