That’s making quite a mental leap. What’s wrong is changing the rules halfway during a voting day, specially in one of the largest countries in the world with uneven logistics.

Polls were closed in some places, voting boxes sealed, and had to be reopened.

While not necessarily bad, it can create fraud suspicions. Just arrange a longer voting time from the get go. Else it looks you are stalling and boosting turnout out for your side.

PS it’s quite common in some countries to put people on buses and make them vote in exchange of money.
