Consider the following statements : 1. The President shall make rules for the more convenient transaction of the business of the Government of India, and for the allocation among Ministers of the said business. 2. All executive actions of the Government of India shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the Prime Minister. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is correct as Article 77(3) of the Constitution mandates the President to make rules for the more convenient transaction of government business and the allocation of such business among Ministers. Statement 2 is incorrect because, according to Article 77(1), all executive actions of the Government of India must be formally taken in the name of the President, not the Prime Minister. This question tests the core concept of the **Conduct of Business of the Government of India** and the constitutional role of the President as the formal head of the executive.
