CPI today said the victory of anti-BJP forces in the assembly bypolls showed "growing disenchantment" among the people with BJP and its policies and the secular forces must draw lessons on how to fight the ruling coalition at the Centre.

"The results show that the people are not prepared to accept the RSS and corporate-driven policies of the BJP government. It shows a fast-growing disillusionment among them," CPI National Secretary D Raja said.

He said the trend of last month's bye-elections in Uttarakhand, in which all the three seats went to Congress, was continuing.

"The secular forces must draw proper lessons that BJP has to be fought, not only on the secular plank, but on its economic policies also," Raja said.
