Both Narendra Modi and yoga have a penchant for being in news. What happens when both feature in the same news? They manage to keep Twitterati engaged and cause a laugh riot.
This morning our health conscious, yoga loving, vegetarian PM tweeted about missing his morning yoga to go have breakfast with his mother and spend time with her. All of this before dawn.
Skipped Yoga & went to meet mother. Before dawn had breakfast with her. Was great spending time together.

Delhi CM clearly did not take to the PM’s antics kindly and brought his own mother into the debate, sans yoga.

In all honesty, most of us would skip anything we are asked to do on an early winter morning and the thought of having breakfast before dawn could make most of the hair on our body stand. But our PM actually took to Twitter to express his anguish about having missed his yoga and for obvious reasons Twitterati had a field day.
Good boy! Skipped Hatha Yoga but did Bhakti Yoga… Yoga nonetheless. Btw, after we leave the body, our identity is our mother & our Guru… https://t.co/4ivhyb82R9

Skipped yoga and went out for sushi with a very good friend. It’s always great to spend time with her. Stuck to my eating plan too!

Now when its our PM unleashing his PR skills, how could Facebook have been left unfazed.
All said and done, yoga causing such ruckus has to be a first.
