More recently, they were at loggerheads over the scheduling of the AGM that was eventually held on Wednesday when the secretary was suspended.

Yatin Tipnis, representing the Maharashtra State Association, was nominated as the senior joint secretary in the TTFI AGM and would look after the day to day running of the federation now that secretary’s post is suspended.

TTFI president Meghna Ahlawat, who is wife of former Haryana Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala, and secretary Mehta were representing different factions in the governing body after being elected back in December 2022 as part of a "compromise".

“I have been hearing about the suspension. I have not got anything in written from TTFI. I have not been able to access the official email since yesterday.

“Agenda driven politics is being played as they (the other faction) never wanted me as secretary in the first place,” claimed Mehta.

Back in February 2022, the Delhi High Court had suspended the TTFI after observing “a sorry state of affairs” in the national federation and appointed a

Committee of Administrators (CoA) to look after its day-to-day activities. Fresh elections were held in December 2022 when Ahlawat and Mehta were elected.

Rewind of 2022 LOL
I do not know the full story
But Haryana Deputy CM Dushyant Chautala is a political powerhouse
Mehta is a 8 time national champion and finalist 3 other times
Sharath Kamal broke this record as 10 time champion and finalist 5 other times

It is hard to say because a player may or may not be as influential in getting things done as a politician even if they are not TT players
Again I do not know the full story & am not passing judgement.
Only thing I know is it never seems to end LOL

Wasn't Mehta elected recently to the most powerful ITTF committee ?
This should be interesting in so many ways
