“Will face poll along with Congress”
Former PM Deve Gowda predicts early election to Lok Sabha
Bengaluru/ New Delhi, June 28: Former Prime Minister and JDS supremo HD Deve Gowda predicted early election to the Lok Sabha and it may fall in either November or December.
Speaking to reporters at New Delhi on Thursday, Deve Gowda said that going by the functioning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah, it is sure that the country would go for early LS poll and both the PM and Shah have already directed all states to prepare for the early election. There is no doubt if the monsoon Parliament Session is the last session of the government. Shortly, he would meet the leaders of non-NDA parties, he said.
Alliance with Congress
The JDS would make alliance with the Congress for the next Lok Sabha election. In Uttar Pradesh, the BSP would give some seats to the Congress, for which discussions were going on. But in Karnataka, seat sharing issue was not yet discussed. Even it was discussed about him contesting from Mandya. There were some problems in Karnataka and soon discussions would be held, Gowda said.
Attended Defence Ministry meeting
“It is reported that I came to Delhi to meet Congress leaders. But I came here to participate in a Defence Ministry meeting. I have not attended three meetings of the Ministry. But now, the meeting was cancelled for some reasons”, he said.
For the smooth running of the coalition government, Coordination Committee was formed in Karnataka. The Coordination Committee, AICC president Rahul Gandhi and Karnataka Incharge KC Venugopal would take a final decision on everything including Budget presentation, he clarified.
Declined to react
Deve Gowda said that he would not react to the statement of former chief minister Siddaramaiah. The coalition government would run as per the agreement between the Congress and the JDS. AICC president Rahul Gandhi and Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy would discuss and find solution, he said.

China tests new Hydrogen bomb without nuclear fusion
Beijing: China has reportedly tested a new kind of explosive device that uses hydrogen but does not involve any nuclear materials. This new weapon was developed by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). It works differently from traditional hydrogen bombs, which rely on nuclear fusion. Instead, this device uses a chemical reaction with a substance called magnesium hydride. The explosion creates a powerful fireball that gives off extreme heat for a longer time, reported Economic Times.
The explosive weighs only 2 kilograms and uses a unique method to create a powerful blast. Magnesium hydride, which stores hydrogen at high densities, breaks down quickly when triggered by a normal explosive. This releases hydrogen gas, which then mixes with air and catches fire. The result is a fireball with temperatures above 1,000°C much hotter than regular explosives like TNT.
Quoting Wang Xuefeng, a top scientist at the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), The Economic Times reported that hydrogen explosions require very little energy to ignite and can spread rapidly. Wang explained that such fires possess the intensity to burn through strong materials, including aluminium alloys. Due to its precision and destructive power, the device could be highly effective in targeted military strikes.
During a field test, the explosive showed a peak pressure of 428.43 kilopascals at a distance of two meters. This is around 40% of the pressure made by TNT. But the real strength of this device lies in the heat it produces. While most explosives create a quick shockwave, this one keeps burning at very high temperatures for more than two seconds.
This long-lasting heat could make the explosive useful for hitting specific military targets, such as power plants or communication centers. It could also be used to block enemy forces by burning roads or transport routes, making them unusable.
