Former president of Indian National Congress, Rahul Gandhi took on a pushup challenge in Tamil Nadu. This challenge was given to him by Merolin Shenigha, a 10th standard Judo enthusiast.
Currently, Rahul is doing rallies and campaigning in Tamil Nadu ahead of the State Assembly elections. In the video, Rahul Gandhi could be seen doing pushups at a very fast rate in comparison to Merolin Shenigha. At the end of the video, he also tried to attempt a one-hand pushup and then shook the hand of the judo player.

In Tamil Nadu, the ruling AIADMK and the BJP have joined hands and the opposition DMK will fight the assembly election with the Congress once again. Gandhi, who is currently the MP from Wayanad, was in Kerala last week.
Gandhi has already initiated campaigning in Assam, where the polls are also coming, but there is no clarity of his joining campaign in West Bengal where the Left and the Congress have organised a joint rally.
Gandhi is invoking local issues in the states. In Assam, he made a strong anti-CAA pitch, assuring that Congress will work for the welfare of the people, and attacked the BJP over its divisive agenda.
In his earlier visits to Tamil Nadu, he attacked the BJP over the New Education Policy and the language issue which is a very emotive topic in the state.
Assembly Election in Tamil Nadu will happen in a single phase on April 6, 2021, along with Kerala.
