💡 Analysis & Explanation
Statement 1 Analysis ▼
This is correct. As per Article 176(1) of the Constitution, the Governor is constitutionally mandated to address the Legislative Assembly (or both Houses assembled together) at the commencement of the first session after each general election and at the commencement of the first session of each year.
Statement 2 Analysis ▼
This is correct. Under Article 208, State Legislatures make their own rules of procedure. However, if there is a procedural gap or silence on a particular matter, it is an established parliamentary convention in India for the state assembly to look towards and follow the operational rules and precedents set by the Lok Sabha.
Conclusion ▼
Both statements are procedurally correct, making option C the right answer.
