'Mentally Exhausted' Manika Puts 'sword Down', Claims TTFI Violated Own Constitution With Oversized Selection Committee
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Ace paddler Manika Batra said she is "mentally exhausted" and "putting her swords down" from her ongoing selection battle with the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), while also expressing her dissatisfaction over the federation's reply to the three-time Olympian's demand for clarification over her exclusion from the Asian Games squad, pointing out the violation of the TTFI Constitution.
After the TTFI picked a 10-member men's and women's team led by Olympians Sreeja Akula and G Sathiyan for the upcoming Asian Games 2026, Manika questioned her exclusion from the squad for the continental event to be played at Aichi-Nagoya in Japan
Manika was named among the reserves along Swastika Ghosh. Her absence from the squad was surprising and has resulted in a controversy, as the star athlete termed her omission "arbitrary and lacking transparency" and had requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya to intervene, warning of legal recourse if satisfactory explanations are not provided.
