The EC owes an explanation and credible remedial measures (sic),” the former Union finance minister tweeted.

After the Congress and other parties raised concerns, the EC had made a paper trail of votes compulsory at each polling booth in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly polls and the recently concluded Himachal Assembly election.
