Udupi: Karnataka BJP Chief Nalin Kumar Kateel on Monday said the recent statements of party legislator Basanagouda Patil Yatnal were taken note of and they were brought to the notice of the party’s Central Disciplinary Committee.
He further added the committee will be contemplating further action against the legislator if needed.
Speaking about the party’s preparation for the upcoming assembly election in the state, Kateel added that the party’s preparation was on course and they were expecting to win at least 150 seats during the elections next year.
“We are chalking out a plan for that accordingly.” He said.
Commenting on the inflation in the economy Kateel noted that the rise in prices of various commodities was natural as the prices are high in the international market as well.
“Ever since our party came into power in 2014, things have changed. When prices are rising in the international market, it rises here and when it comes down in the international market, it comes down here,” he opined.
“In the 75 years, it is only the BJP government that has given free gas, delivered gas to the doorstep despite no application, credited Rs. 500 directly into the account and credited 10 thousand rupees to the farmers’ accounts every year. Despite rising prices, Ayushman Card was issued to BPL cardholders to control it. Our government has provided full cooperation in this manner”, he said.
When asked about the Sri Rama Sene chief Pramod Muthalik’s ultimatum to the state government over Azaan and loudspeakers issue, Kateel said although the issue of activists and the responsibilities of the government were different, the ideology of Muthalik and BJP were the same.
“The issue of activists is different, and the responsibility of the government that governs constitutionally is different. However, Muthalik and our ideology are the same,” he said.
Concerning Azan, the state government must take strict action. Our government is set to make a decision based on the court’s order. There are legal and constitutional obstacles that hinder the removal of microphones from the mosque. After overseeing them, the state government will take a decision”, he said.

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.
