As the BJP is projected to win in the Delhi Assembly election as per the early trends, CPI national general secretary D Raja has called on the INDIA bloc parties particularly Congress to learn proper lessons from the results.
He said that being the biggest secular party in the country with a pan-India presence it should introspect how to build unity among the secular democratic parties. "BJP cannot claim it has won a massive victory in Delhi. It is because of disunity among the secular democratic parties," Raja told ANI. "So Delhi election has given certain lesson. The INDIA bloc parties must learn proper lessons and must do proper introspection. Particularly Congress, being the biggest pan India secular party, must do serious introspection on how to build the unity of secular democratic parties and on how to strengthen INDIA bloc in the coming days," he added. He also called for "mutual trust and accommodation" among the INDIA bloc parties in all activities including in seat share talks. "On behalf of communist parties, we have been saying, there is a need to strengthen the INDIA bloc. There must be mutual trust and accommodation in all activities including in seat share talks," Raja said.
