AHMEDABAD: Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel, who has reportedly expressed displeasure over the portfolios allotted to him, on Saturday said: “I have conveyed my feelings to the party high command and I am hopeful that they will give a proper reply. This is not about some departments, this is about self-respect.”
