In a historic move, an Extra Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) has been scheduled for September 28 in New Delhi with the intention of moving a no confidence motion against President Anil Jain.
Eight state tennis associations that are associated with AITA have sought to do so. It’s interesting to note that the All India Tennis Association (AITA) convened the EGM on the day it was supposed to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and run elections.

“Is this how they’re punishing me for telling them to abide by the Sports Code? They are all going to be disqualified due of the error in the Electoral College. “I’ll leave if I did anything wrong,” Jain declared.
There are further accusations against Jain, according to a state associations official, and it has nothing to do with adhering to the Sports Code.
If this was the problem, then why did he remain silent when the AGM and elections were announced and the EC met last month?
“We need to encourage the players, clean up the system, and transform Indian tennis at this moment. In this, we are all together. Our crew is capable of handling it. After these elections, Indian tennis would change, he said. Among the
A state association wrote to AITA on September 21 saying, “He has used the AITA Trust for his personal hidden agenda, disregarding all the principles of good governance, by becoming
