Explanation:

Statement 1: Some members of the legislative assemblies in Sikkim and Nagaland are elected indirectly. Moreover, there is provision of the nomination of an Anglo-Indian in the assembly as well. Under article 333, the Governor of a state is of the opinion that Anglo Indian Community is not adequately represented in the state assembly, he / she can nominate the member.

Statement 2: Others are elected indirectly by either the state assembly or graduates/teachers etc. We will cover this in detail in another question.
