No one is putting Army in an Uncomfortable Position.
Uncomfortable Position is when the Army is already deployed and is asked not to do what it is supposed to do.
Just giving a suggestion is not putting anyone in an uncomfortable position.
To me, Army should be kept out of this election thing, but if it is called, then surely it wont be first time that it is assisting Civilian authorities in conducting a free and fair elections.
Instead of asking Army to chip for elections, BJP should rather be asking the EC[Election Commission] to do it effectively, as EC is the only body that has constitutional mandate to effect a free and fair elections, and let the EC decide if it needs Army to help the Civilian authorities or the CRPF.
Besides, going by the reputation of EC[which is formidable/enviable], whatever be the results of elections people would accept it quite openly.
Elections conducted under Army's supervision would not have that kind of acceptability when compared to elections conducted under EC's Supervision[Not that Army does not enjoy such a formidable and favourable reputation as EC, but skeptics could still say Army did not do its job because it was being controlled by MOD].
