Waking up a little late
Bulldozers arrive years after an illegal structure is put up, and GAAR is deferred after its implementation is announced. What a Government! Precious means valuable, and it is to be guarded for sure. But it also means, in another context, a self regard disproportionate to circumstance. A stance which is irritating and irksome to others, but the person in question, and in this context the country he or she represents, is oblivious to the discomfort his or her attitude is causing.
