Indian media: Modi's 'report card'

Papers say Mr Modi needs to do more to fully revive India's economy

Papers analyse Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's performance as he completes six months in power.

Mr Modi took oath on 26 May after his Bharatiya Janata Party won the general elections.

He has announced several schemes, including banking for all, Clean India campaign and labour reforms, after coming to power.

He has also given good attention to India's foreign policy in the first six months and travelled to the US, Australia, Fiji, Japan, and Nepal and Bhutan in the immediate neighbourhood.

Some analysts say the PM seems to believe in boosting bilateral ties with key countries.

"The snail's pace of multilateral fora does not excite Mr Modi and he much prefers the big bilateral," an article in the Hindustan Times says.

The article, however, adds that Mr Modi remains to be tested on his policies with neighbouring China and Pakistan.

Delhi has border disputes with both Islamabad and Beijing.

"Pakistan and China are the real foreign policy tests of an Indian ruler. Here, Mr Modi's maximum pragmatism, minimum strategy approach has struggled," the article says.

Dozens of ambulances, both of government as well as non-governmental organisations, seemed to be running short for ferrying bodies of students and teachers of the Army Public School and College, who fell prey to the devastating act of terrorism on Tuesday. There were ambulances of different hue and colour, but all serving the same purpose of carrying the injured and the bodies to major hospitals, including the Combined Military Hospital and the Lady Reading Hospital. The ambulances were bringing gloom to those whose children were killed by terrorists. People searching for their near and dear ones in the hospitals and on the Warsak Road, where the ill-fated educational institu...

India on brink of 'quantum leap,' Modi tells investors -reuters

(Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised on Sunday to pursue predictable policies and ensure stable taxes, in a speech that sought to address concerns for foreign investors in Asia's third-largest economy . U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry led a roll call of leaders, including U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank head Jim Yong Kim, converging on Modi's home town of Gandhinagar for the Vibrant Gujarat business summit. U.S. President Barack Obama visits India later this month. Eight months into Modi's rule, his failure to lift the economy from its longest growth slowdown in a generation has raised questions about how much substance there is behind his promise of "red carpet, not red tape". "We're trying to complete the circle of economic reforms speedily," Modi told the event that he founded when he was chief minister of the industrial state. "We are also keen to see that our policies are predictable. We're clea...
