New Delhi: Union minister Smriti Irani on Friday hailed the BJP's victory in the Amethi civic polls in Uttar Pradesh and congratulated the party workers for the "triumph of development" in Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's Parliamentary constituency.
The Union information and broadcasting minister also thanked the voters of Amethi for reposing faith in the saffron party.
Irani had unsuccessfully contested the 2014 Lok Sabha election from Amethi against Gandhi.
"Congratulations to the dedicated workers from Amethi region for the #VikasKiJeet (victory of development). Thanks to people of Amethi for blessing @BJP4India (sic)," she wrote on Twitter.
