The subject matter of an adjournment motion in the Parliament 1. must be directly related to the conduct of the Union Government 2. may involve failure of the Government of India to perform its duties in accordance with the Constitution Select the correct answer using the code given below.

An adjournment motion is an extraordinary device used in the Lok Sabha to discuss a definite matter of urgent public importance. It is fundamentally a tool for censuring the government, as its adoption implies a lack of confidence or dissatisfaction with the executive's actions. Consequently, the subject matter must be directly related to the conduct of the Union Government and its administrative responsibilities. Furthermore, the motion is specifically designed to pinpoint the failure of the Government of India to perform its duties in accordance with the Constitution and the law. Because it involves an element of censure, it is not permitted in the Rajya Sabha, as the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible only to the Lok Sabha under Article 75(3). Both statements accurately reflect the scope and purpose of this parliamentary mechanism.
