{'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'annual financial statement': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'money bill': [7, 1, 3, 9], 'grants': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'power': [24, 3, 21, 61]}

The correct answer is indeed 1 and 2 only.

Statement 1 is correct: The Rajya Sabha has no power either to reject or to amend a Money Bill.

Statement 2 is also correct: The Rajya Sabha cannot vote on the Demands for Grants. The Demands for Grants are voted upon by the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Parliament.

Statement 3 is incorrect: The Rajya Sabha can discuss the Annual Financial Statement (Budget). While it cannot vote on the demands for grants, it can discuss and make recommendations on the budget.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 1 and 2 only.
