Union Minister Smriti Irani this morning thanked the people of the country for "blessing" the BJP as she reflected on the last five years of the BJP-led NDA government in a series of tweets

Taking to Twitter, Irani -- who is pitted against Congress chief Rahul Gandhi in Amethi -- said: "24 hours to go .. while most of us will be glued to our TV sets tomorrow to watch vote by vote, count by count analysis, here's taking this opportunity to say thank you for the countless blessings of millions across the Nation for my party and my leadership."

The seven-phased national elections were held between April 11 and May 19 and votes will be counted tomorrow.

Irani, who is a Rajya Sabha member from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state, Gujarat, also slammed the opposition parties for constantly attacking PM Modi in five years. "In the last 5 years not a day went by when Narendra Modi was not subjected to humiliation and hateful barbs by the opposition," she said.

In another post, she said the people of the country "stood firm against the people who screamed 'Bharat ke tukde honge' (India will be divided)". "It is to those citizens that I give my grateful thanks for they resolutely and unabashedly believed in 'Bharat' & her future," the textiles minister wrote.

The exit polls have predicted a comfortable win for the BJP.
