Fitness influencer Ankit Baiyanpuria on Sunday joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Shramdaan for cleanliness' program of the ‘Swachhata Hi Seva’ campaign. PM Modi has shared a video of him with the fitness influencer on social media.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi wrote, “Today, as the nation focuses on Swachhata, Ankit Baiyanpuriya and I did the same! Beyond just cleanliness, we blended fitness and well-being also into the mix. It is all about that Swachh and Swasth Bharat vibe!”

Prime Minister Modi met social media sensation Ankit Baiyanpuriya, who had started a 75-day hard challenge to imbibe the culture of fitness among the youth.

The Prime Minister, in the video, was heard saying to Ankit, “I will learn something from you today.” ”How will Swachhata Abhiyan help fitness?" PM Modi asked Ankit.

“Keeping the environment clean is our duty. If the environment remains healthy then we too will,” Ankit replied to PM Modi.

In the video which lasted 281 seconds, PM Modi went on to ask Ankit how much time he dedicated towards physical activities, to which he said 4-5 hours.

"I get motivated seeing you exercise,” Ankit told PM Modi. PM Modi then says "I don’t do much exercise. I do sufficient exercise that is needed to accomplish my day-to-day activities.”
