[IAC#RG] 2014, all this hoopla on Narendra Modi for little?

Below is table of Exit Polls Versus Actual Results in India's
Central Elections from 1996 to 2009.   Up until 2004 there
is close match between them (as in any mature democracy)
but things went really awry 2004 onwards.  

What changed in 2004?  Note the table and see at the end.



From 'Democracy at Risk' by GVL Narasimha Rao, at http://www.indianevm.com/book_democracy_at_risk_2010.pdf  (page 81)

What changed from 2004 is large scale use of EVM in India's elections.

India's elections are determined by EVMs,  not Voters.  Particularly central.
