Statement 2 is incorrect. The value of the vote of an MP (Member of Parliament) is the same for all MPs, whether from the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha. The value is calculated by dividing the total value of votes of all MLAs of all states by the total number of elected MPs of both Houses of Parliament.
