Bharatiya Tribal Party (abbr. BTP) is a political party based in Gujarat, India. The party was formed in 2017 by Jhagadiya MLA Chhotubhai Vasava and Maheshbhai Vasava who was previously a member of the Janata Dal (United).[3] The Election Commission of India allotted the Auto rickshaw symbol to BTP under paragraph 10B (2017).[4]
The BTP has firstly formed a prepoll alliance with the AIMIM for the 2022 Gujarat Legislative Assembly election.[5] But later in April 2022, BTP allied with Aam Aadmi Party.[6]
The BTP fought on only two seats and won those two seats in the 2018 Rajasthan Legislative Assembly election.[7] It joined the Indian National Congress government, but withdrew its support in 2020.[8]
