One-third of its members retire every two years, and new members are elected to replace them. It can indeed be called into session at short notice by the President. Thus, statement 1 is correct.<\/p>\n<p>Statement 2: Under the Constitution of India, the law-making powers of the two Houses of the Indian Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) are not symmetrical. While they have equal powers in ordinary legislation, there are significant differences in financial matters (Money Bills can only originate in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha has limited powers), and in the case of a joint sitting, the Lok Sabha&#8217;s strength is much greater, giving it a dominant position. Special powers are also vested in the Rajya Sabha concerning subjects in the State List and the creation of All India Services (Articles 249 and 312).
