keywords: 

{'precedence': [0, 1, 3, 0], 'lok sabha proceedings': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'lok sabha': [42, 3, 20, 27], 'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'deputy chairman': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'warrant': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'speaker': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'voting': [2, 2, 5, 6]}

Option 1 states that in the Lok Sabha proceedings, the Speaker of Lok Sabha can never cast his vote. This statement is incorrect. The Speaker of Lok Sabha can cast his vote but usually does not exercise this right unless there is a tie in the voting.

Option 2 states that in the warrant of precedence, the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha is equal to the Speaker of Lok Sabha in rank. This statement is also incorrect. In the warrant of precedence, the Speaker of Lok Sabha is ranked higher than the Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha.

Therefore, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct. The correct answer is option 4, which states that neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
