The result of the election here is difficult to predict but it’s easy to trace the shadow of the 2002 riots in the region. The majority of the 65 riot-affected constituencies is spread in Central Gujarat and with the riot trials fast turning against the BJP in the tribal belt as convictions in the riot cases begin, 2002 will leave its imprint on 2007.
