The Bharatiya Tribal Party will fight from 20 Lok Sabha seats spread across Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Union Territory Daman and Diu, its chief Chhotubhai Vasava said Sunday.
The BTP, which was founded on the eve of the 2017 Assembly polls in Gujarat, had managed to win two seats in the 182-member House.
Vasava won from Jhagadiya while his son Mahesh is the MLA from Dediapada.
The BTP also won the Sagwara and Chorasi Assembly seats in the 2018 Rajasthan polls.
Speaking to PTI, the BTP founder said, "I will contest from Bharuch Lok Sabha seat as it has a sizable presence of tribals. Apart from Jhagadiya and Dediapada, represented by the BTP, tribals are present in large numbers in Ankleshwar, Bharuch, Vagra, Karjan and Netrang assembly constituencies as well."
