Lekhi says women security is her priority

Lawyer-turned-politician Meenakshi Lekhi, who emerged victorious in the high profile New Delhi parliamentary constituency with over 1.5 lakh votes, termed women security in the national capital as her top priority.

The BJP leader secured 4,53,350 votes, followed by AAP’s Ashish Khaitan finishing second with 2,90,642 votes and Congress’ Ajay Maken managing a mere 1,82,893 to end up third.

Lekhi, who was doing the rounds of counting centres in Gole Market area clad in a yellow saree teamed with a saffron blouse, interacted with media persons, supporters and party workers at there.

‘We were expecting a win as we have worked very hard. I have a team working with me, even those people who are not associated with the BJP, but they are working for the party. 

‘The kind of response we got certainly indicated that they want to see a change now in a positive direction,’ Lekhi said. She thanked 

her party workers for the support.
