After bitter campaign, Modi says time for healing, reviving bipartisanship

Modi also took a swipe at Congress saying the ruling party which sets poll agenda has neither been proactive nor responsive, but reactive and lauded the NDA for being firmly focussed on its agenda of development and good governance.

“There were attempts to digress from these issues but we remained firm,” he said, apparently referring to the political discourse on his role in the 2002 Gujarat riots.
 
Modi said history will remember the 2014 elections as historic that marked a paradigm shift from conventional electioneering.

“Normally, the party in power sets the agenda of the campaign but for the first time it was not the case. Far from setting the agenda, the ruling party was neither proactive nor responsive. It was only reactive throughout the campaign,” he said.
