Karnataka’s share in national gross domestic product, or GDP, has increased slightly from the first year of the Siddaramaiah government—2013-14—even as it had declined during the BJP government from 2008-09 to 2012-13. But it should be noted that Karnataka’s share in India’s GDP under the Congress and BJP governments is not exactly comparable due to the shift to a new GDP series in 2011-12, which has led to increased estimates of the IT sector’s contribution to the economy, as reported by The Times of India.
