The Indian military is in a poor state. China's defense budget is approaching $100 billion. India is still at $26 billion and lot of that is left unspent due to slow approval process. I heard the Army still doesn't have enough Artillery. # of fighters in the Air Force is inadequate, and half the naval ships are non-operational.
If the BJP fixes the buying process in the military, the military will become pro-BJP. It's good to have a powerful institution like that on the BJP's side. Military's tend to lean right wing/ Nationalist anyway.
