With reference to the Legislative Assembly of a State in India, consider the following statements:<br/>1. The Governor makes a customary address to Members of the House at the commencement of the first session of the year.<br/>2. When a State Legislature does not have a rule on a particular matter, it follows the Lok Sabha rule on that matter.<br/><br/>Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1: Correct. Under Article 176, the Governor addresses the Legislative Assembly (or both Houses, where there is a Legislative Council) at the commencement of the first session each year and after each general election.

Statement 2: Incorrect. A State Legislature follows its own Rules of Procedure and directions of the Speaker/Chairman; if there is no specific rule, it is not constitutionally bound to follow Lok Sabha rules.

Therefore, only Statement 1 is correct.
