All top officials (who are elected) have political backgrounds, be it any sport in India. This is for the simple fact that controllers of those sports bodies wield big clout to dole out patronage and are entitled to handle big money (you know what I mean). And the politicians want to corner every positions of power for their own benefit. However, while doing so, they don't represent their political allegiance, but work as eminent (!) personalities of the society. That is why a President of Congress background works with a VP of say, a BJP person in a board of some sport. But generally, since the ruling political party of the times is dominant, they grab most of the lucrative posts unless the man from opposition is very high profile.
Under this background, it is only natural that BJP politicians would try to take AIFF positions (it has happened in BCCI as well), but this wouldn't be called political interference. FIFA won't have any ground to ban India.
Only way FIFA will ban AIFF if Government implement this Lodha Committee type report on AIFF or try to dislodge PP. Any interference by Government, Supreme Court or any election in AIFF which is not held as per FIFA wishes will result in Ban. This looks like Conspiracy theory to me. ISL feels pressure from FIFA. IMG-R ask BJP to interfere so that AIFF can be banned. ISL continue happily ever after as after ban, there is no pressure from FIFA. I dont believe this can happen.
