The Union Finance Minister's fulmination against the Supreme Court's alleged 'tyranny of the unelected' deserves to be taken seriously. After all Mr Jaitley has been a lawyer of long standing and in Lutyen's Delhi he is known as the de-facto union law minister. Lawyers believed to be close to him were appointed the Attorney General as well as the Solicitor General of India by the NDA Government last year. And above all, Mr Jaitley is both eloquent and acerbic.
