Ex-minister Maya Kodnani’s conviction in the Naroda Patiya case last week is the first instance where the Patels have not been the headline name as justice for the 2002 riots gets slowly dispensed. But Babu Bajrangi is a Patel. So were 82 of the 116 convicted in the four preceding cases. The resultant discontent amidst them is an electoral issue in the poll-bound state.
