Statement 2 is incorrect. While the Constitution came into force in 1950, the first general elections were held in 1951-52. The first Lok Sabha and the first Rajya Sabha were constituted *after* these elections. The Rajya Sabha (Council of States) was first constituted on April 3, 1952, and its first session began on May 13, 1952.
