Don’t stereotype the politicians of new India, they hit the gym to remain in shape
We generally relate politicians to address a mass gathering, make false promises, never come back again once they win the election and travel their life away, but we look into only one side of the coin. Much like the common man, politicians too are human beings and they seek fortune, fitness and fame. It is good to see politicians, whom we generally see exercising their oratory prowess on public platforms or engaging in political dialogue, pulling off stunts in the fitness centres. Here is a look at some of the politicians who maintain a strong fitness regime.
