{'electoral college': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'legislative council': [4, 1, 3, 1], 'presidential election': [0, 1, 1, 4], 'election': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'president': [4, 0, 2, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'mps': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct statements regarding the election of the President of India are:

1. He is elected indirectly: This means that the President is not elected directly by the people of India through a popular vote. Instead, he is elected by an electoral college.

2. He is elected through an electoral college consisting of all elected MPs and MLAs: The President is elected by an electoral college made up of all elected Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) across India. This includes both national and state-level representatives.

Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer as it includes both the correct statements mentioned above.

However, option 1 (1 and 2 only) is incorrect, as it does not include statement 4.

Option 3 (1 and 4 only) is also incorrect, as it does not include statement 2.

Option 4 (3 and 4) is incorrect, as it only includes statement 3 and does not include statement 2.

Alert - The correct answer should be option 2.
