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.

No one cares about military. Its in a shitty state. I hope China or Pakis do a surprise invasion, babus will be in for one rude awakening. Everything is undermanned, from number of fighter squadrons, to tanks, to officers, to ships, to everything. It is going to be one decade since need for MRCA was announced.
