A
1 only
B
2 only
C
Both 1 and 2
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Correct answer: (b) 2 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect because the ECI derives its power to allocate election symbols from the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968, issued under Article 324 of the Constitution, not the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Statement 2 is correct as Paragraph 15 of this Order specifically empowers the ECI to decide on competing claims from rival factions of a political party.
