Activist Sonam Wangchuk's indefinite hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar enters its 19th day amid protests over alleged irregularities in the NEET examination. During the protest, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal meets Wangchuk and praises his stand for students. Kejriwal calls for Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to step down and proposes that Sonam Wangchuk become India's next Education Minister. The protest also announces a 'Chalo Sansad' march on July 20, coinciding with the start of Parliament's Monsoon Session.

At a rally in Delhi, PM Modi spoke about the challenges faced by the city under Congress and AAP's rule. He said, “For 25 years, both Congress and AAP have been in power, yet the major issues in Delhi like traffic jams, waterlogging, and pollution continue to worsen. Over these years, two generations have faced these same problems. Despite promises, there has been no real change. With your vote, you can bring an end to these problems. We need to complete the pending work from the past 11 years and also plan for a better future in the next 25 years. After seeing 25 years of Congress and AAP, it's time to give the 'lotus' a chance for real progress in Delhi.
