According to sources, several opposition MPs including Congress' Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, DMK's P Wilson and TMC's Kalyan Banerjee questioned the claim that simultaneous polls cut expenditure. The 39-member panel is headed by former Union minister PP Chaudhary.

Priyanka asked if the ECI has any estimate on the cost of a general election after the 2004 Lok Sabha polls, when EVMs were used for the first time in all 543 parliamentary seats.
