Contending that people had been disillusioned with Congress long back and even the “experiment” of alternatives had failed, Modi said his government has an additional responsibility to live up to public expectations.
“The clear cut mandate that BJP got would not have been possible had there been no undercurrent and common thought process from Kashmir to Kanyakumari,” he said.
Modi told BJP workers that if government's work could inspire people to believe it was working dedicatedly for their welfare, then they will never break their ties with the party.
On the major poll campaign he steered to bring his party to power, he said social scientists and political pundits should study the elections and his party's win just as Labour Party's first victory under Tony Blair and Barack Obama's maiden election as the US President were discussed, spawning numerous books.
“This (election) is a significant challenge before political pundits, social scientists and electoral analysts.
If it gets due importance in the nation, if university comes ahead and we could document it all and present it before the world, it would be a big thing,” he said, noting that people in India are generally not “history-conscious”.
