Explanation:

• Under the Constitution, the Parliament of India consists of three parts viz, thePresident, the Council of States and the House of the People. In 1954, the Hindi names ‘Rajya Sabha’ and ‘Lok Sabha’ were adopted by the Council of States and the House of People respectively. Hence, statement 1 is not correct.

• The Chairman of the 'Council of States' or the Rajya Sabha i.e Vice President is not a member of the House, unlike the Speaker (who is a member of the House). Hence, statement 2 is not correct.
