Circus or not, I don’t know. Buying another “new” platform isn’t going to help the IAF in the long run in terms of logistics and efficiency. Modi may have his heart in the right place as far as defense goes, but I’m not sure if buying two sets of foreign fighters is the way to go (make that three, counting the Russian T-50).
