Karnataka teacher suspended for criticising CM Siddaramaiah over freebies; BJP slams Congress

A government school teacher in Karnataka was suspended after he criticised Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for his freebie policies in a social media post. Shanthamurthy MG, the teacher from the government school at Kaanubenahalli, Chitradurga district, was suspended on May 20 -- the same day when Siddaramaiah took over as the new Chief Minister. Shanthamurthy had written on Facebook that among the past Chief Ministers of Karnataka, Siddaramaiah incurred the highest debts.
