Congress MP Rahul Gandhi who is in Assam`s Majuli on his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, said that while his party refers to tribals as `Adivasis`, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) limits them to being just `Vanvasis`, reported news agency ANI.

Explaining the difference between the two, Rahul Gandhi said, "We call you Adivasi; they call you Vanvasi. Do you know the difference between the two? Adivasi means the first citizens, those who have come to the earth first. Vanvasi means those who stay in the forest," reported ANI.
