Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The President is never elected directly by the people but by members of the Electoral College. The electoral college responsible for President's elections comprises elected members of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, as well as Legislative Assemblies of the states and the Union Territories. As a result, the nominated members do not vote in the election of the President. The President is elected using the Proportional Representation method and a Single Transferable Vote, with voting conducted by secret ballot.
The correct statement would be that the President of India is elected by the elected members of both houses of the parliament and legislative assemblies of the state and Union territories.
