{'confidence motion': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'conditions': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'admissibility': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'confidence': [0, 0, 4, 4], 'motion': [0, 0, 0, 3]}
The statement "Rajya Sabha is not empowered to entertain a motion of no-confidence" is not correct. Rajya Sabha, which is the upper house of the Parliament of India, has the power to entertain a motion of no-confidence. The Constitution of India does not restrict the motion of no-confidence to the Lok Sabha (lower house) alone.
