In conducting competitions and has only put roadblocks towards the conduct of the CFA League. Which has not been held since 2018.

“The TFA as per the constitution of AIFF is required to compulsorily conduct competitions both at a state level and at District level. as per Article 14(2)k. However, neither does the TFA conduct competitions nor does it allow Districts including CFA to conduct such competitions. In doing so, they have also acted in violation of the interests of Indian Football and AIFF, thereby also violating Article 14(2)(o)”. Rohit said in his letter.

The TFA have presided over the death of more competitions within the state. This is a clear violation of Article 62 on the constitution of TFA itself.
