According to media reports, the case pertains to a government school at Kanubanahalli, Hosadurga in Chitradurga district, where a teacher named Shanthamurthy MG used to teach children. After the swearing-in ceremony, Shanti Murthy MG criticized the policies of the Siddaramaiah government through social media, but little did he know that this post would be so heavy for him that she would even lose her job. Actually, the teacher had criticized the economic policies of the government in the post. Posting on Facebook, she wrote that during the tenure of former SM Krishna, SM Krishna Rs 3,590 crore, HD Kumaraswamy Rs 3,545 crore, BS Yeddyurappa Rs 25,653 crore, Jagadish Shettar Rs 13,464 crore, Dharam Singh Rs 15,635 crore and DV Sadananda Gowda took a loan of Rs 9,464 crore, while the Siddaramaiah government (2013-18) took Rs 2,42, 000 crore loan was taken.

Showing these figures, the teacher had written admonition to the government, 'That's why it has been very easy for the Siddaramaiah government to announce free schemes and gifts'. But, as soon as this post came in front, the teacher was attacked and he was suspended with immediate effect. Deputy Director K Ravi Shankar Reddy said the teacher had violated the Karnataka Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, following which the department decided to suspend her.
How much will the Congress government spend on free promises: -
Let us inform that, in the Karnataka elections, Congress had made 5 free promises to the public, which CM Siddaramaiah has approved as soon as the government is formed. However, this has been questioned by some economic experts citing the financial condition of the state. In fact, if we look at the economic condition of Karnataka, then the total income of the state is around 2 lakh 26 thousand crores, while the total expenditure is 2 lakh 87 thousand crores. This means that after the implementation of these schemes, Karnataka's deficit will increase to close to 1 lakh 15-17 thousand crores. Let us tell you that the announcement of 200 units of free electricity by the Karnataka government is estimated to cost 14 thousand 430 crores annually.
At the same time, 3 thousand crores will be spent annually on unemployment allowance given to the youth. A total of 30 thousand 720 crores will be spent every year on giving allowance to women. 5 thousand crore rupees will be spent on free food grains to the poor. At the same time, it is a bit difficult to estimate the free bus travel for women, because for this the number of women traveling, the cost of fare and the number of trips have to be estimated, along with how many fishermen the state government will give 500 liters of diesel per year. It gives, and how much is spent on it, this will also come to the fore soon.
