keywords: 

{'sabha': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'rajya sabha': [50, 3, 22, 40], 'union territories': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'election disputes': [1, 0, 1, 1], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'chief election commissioner': [5, 0, 3, 2], 'lok': [1, 0, 0, 2], 'none': [2, 0, 8, 15]}

Here is the breakdown of each statement:

1. Union Territories are represented in the Rajya Sabha. So, statement 1 is incorrect. For instance, Delhi, which is a union territory, has 3 representatives in the Rajya Sabha.

2. The authority to adjudicate election disputes is not in the hands of the Chief Election Commissioner but rather, primarily lies with the high courts and the Supreme Court in case of appeals. Therefore, Statement 2 is also incorrect.

3. Statement 3 indicates that the Indian Parliament consists only of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. This is incorrect as the Indian Parliament consists of the President, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.

Since all statements are incorrect, option 4 (None) is correct.
