BJP leader Smriti Irani, who toppled Congress president Rahul Gandhi from his pocket borough of Amethi, thanked the voters on Friday for trusting her.

"With a new morning for Amethi, there is a new resolution. Thank you Amethi. Lotus bloomed as you showed trust. I am thankful to Amethi," she said in a tweet.

एक नयी सुबह अमेठी के लिए , एक नया संकल्प। धन्यवाद अमेठी 🙏शत शत नमन । आपने विकास पर विश्वास जताया, कमल का फूल खिलाया। अमेठी का आभार

Irani defeated Gandhi with a margin of 55,120 in the bitterly contested high profile seat, which has fetched nation's attention.

The Union Minister cultivated a strong voter base in the constituency with her numerous visits and using central development schemes in past five years, after she had lost to the Congress President in 2014. IANS
