The Indian Express newspaper said on ⁠Wednesday ​that ⁠two election commissioners had raised questions or expressed ⁠concern at least 14 times in 10 ​months, mostly in connection with the process ⁠of updating voters' lists that began ⁠last ​year, with Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

The Election Commission of ⁠India said that differences were normal in any ⁠institution ⁠and that all its actions were legal.
