Consider the following statements regarding a No-Confidence Motion in India: 1. There is no mention of a No-Confidence Motion in the Constitution of India. 2. A Motion of No-Confidence can be introduced in the Lok Sabha only. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Let's analyze the statements regarding a No-Confidence Motion in India:

There is no mention of a No-Confidence Motion in the Constitution of India: This statement is correct. The term 'No-Confidence Motion' is not explicitly defined or mentioned in the text of the Constitution. However, the constitutional principle of 'collective responsibility' of the Council of Ministers to the Lok Sabha (Article 75(3)) forms the basis for such a motion. The actual procedure for moving a No-Confidence Motion is laid down in the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha (Rule 198). A Motion of No-Confidence can be introduced in the Lok Sabha only: This statement is correct. Since the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible only to the House of the People (Lok Sabha), a motion to express a lack of confidence in the government can only be introduced and voted upon in the Lok Sabha. The Rajya Sabha (Council of States) does not have the power to pass a No-Confidence Motion against the Council of Ministers. Therefore, both statements are correct.
