Statement 1 is correct. Not all Union Territories in India have Legislative Assemblies. For example, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Lakshadweep, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu, and Ladakh do not have legislative assemblies. Statement 2 is correct. The Union Territory of Puducherry was granted a Legislative Assembly by the Government of Union Territories Act, 1963. Delhi also has a Legislative Assembly (under Article 239AA), and Jammu & Kashmir was provided with a Legislative Assembly under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.

Only some Union Territories (Delhi, Puducherry, J&K) have Legislative Assemblies; others are directly administered by the Centre through an Administrator.

The administrative setup of Union Territories varies. Some are administered by an Administrator or Lieutenant Governor appointed by the President. Those with Legislative Assemblies (Delhi, Puducherry, J&K) have elected governments with limited powers compared to States, as the Administrator/Lieutenant Governor also holds significant authority, and certain subjects remain with the Central Government.
