So I would go for it.
The problem with CRPF is that the forces are being kept in the barracks and not being allowed to operate effectively. Wherever they have been able to work, the reds have raised heckles about "excesses".

Even the army, if it is deployed, would be under the command of the MOD. The MOD reports to the GOI, and the GOI (unfortunately) seems to report to the reds. Hence the situation would not be too different. The BJP knows that the Central Government will never deploy the army and hence they can continue to decry that its all the Centers fault because they are not taking good "advice". However, in doing so, they are unnecesarily putting the Army in an uncomfortable position
