BTR–EMS–AKG Janakeeya Vedi (BTR-EMS-AKG People's Forum) was a political group in the South Indian state of Kerala, a splinter group of Communist Party of India (Marxist). The group was led by expelled CITU-leader V.B. Cheriyan (CITU is the trade union of CPI(M)). Whether the movement was to be classified as a party is unclear, but it acted in a party-like manner. The group was considered as being to the left of CPI(M).

In the Lok Sabha elections 2004 BTR–EMS–AKG Janakeeya Vedi had formed a front together with Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Red Flag.
