A Karnataka school teacher has been allegedly suspended for sharing a social media post critical of the freebies promised by the newly elected Congress government led by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The lower primary school teacher from the Chitradurga district shared a post that mentioned how loans incurred by the Congress government will drive the state into debt.

The post went on to mention the loan incurred by the former Karnataka Chief Ministers. According to HM Rajashekhar Hiremath, from SM Krishna to Jagadish Shettar, from HD Kumaraswamy to BS Yediyurappa, the southern state was already in debt and Siddaramaiah has furthered the same.

Hiremath also claimed that the loan to be incurred by Siddaramaiah to fulfil Congress' poll promises is more than any other former CMs in Karnataka. "The state is already deep in debt. Siddaramaiah has come again to dive state in debt,' Hiremath said in his Facebook post.
