You don't have to like everything about Narendra Modi to admire some of what he is trying to do. He campaigned in the 2014 elections mostly by promising to bring "good times". Press him on what that means and he talks of cutting poverty, creating jobs, building roads and getting the economy moving faster. These are welcome goals, though he should be far more ambitious in spelling out the reforms he expects to produce them. On some issues he speaks frankly and well. I have been impressed by his speeches on public hygiene, ending open defecation, generating respect for women and girls and more. His follow-up, however, has been less convincing.

The Punjab Police chief along with a senior officer in the Union Home Ministry Sunday met farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been staging an indefinite hunger strike since last month, and enquired about his health.
Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav and Director in the Ministry of Home Affairs Mayank Mishra met Dallewal at the Khanauri border point and heard his demands.
Their visit came two days after the Supreme Court directed the Centre and Punjab government representatives to meet Dallewal immediately. The top court had further directed that the farmer leader be provided medical help and persuaded him to break his indefinite fast, saying his life was precious.
The 70-year-old Dallewal, a cancer patient, has been on a fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border point between Punjab and Haryana since November 26 to press the Centre to accept the agitating farmers' demands, including a legal guarantee of MSP on crops.
Speaking to reporters after meeting Dallewal,

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Sunday said the ruling Mahayuti will also give a chance to other legislators, who have not found a place in the current ministry, during this government's tenure.
"We will give an opportunity to others also for two-and-a-half years," NCP leader Pawar said addressing a gathering of his party workers in Nagpur before the cabinet expansion.
Everybody wants to become a minister and deserves an opportunity, but the ministerial berths are limited, he pointed out.
The 10-day-old BJP-led Mahayuti alliance ministry in Maharashtra was expanded here on Sunday, with 39 ministers being sworn in, taking its strength to 42.
In the expansion, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) got 19 ministerial berths, followed by 11 to Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and 9 for Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
Among the prominent leaders left out of the ministry include NCP's Chhagan Bhujbal and Dilip Walse Patil and BJP's Sudhir Mungantiwar.

The AAP government will always stand with the doctors and is prepared to introduce a law to prevent violence against them if needed, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said on Sunday.
Addressing the annual conference of the Delhi State Medical Association as the chief guest, the chief minister emphasised the critical role the doctors play in the society not just as healthcare providers but also as sources of trust and emotional support.
"At times, we hear about incidents of violence against the doctors. If such a need arises in Delhi, the government will bring in a Doctors Protection Act to address these concerns," she said.
Highlighting the government's inclusive approach, Atishi stated that policies for healthcare professionals have always encompassed both government and private sector doctors.
