THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Agricultural University Vice-Chancellor Dr. R Chandrababu was unable to give a clear answer to the explanation sought by the Governor regarding the allegation that the information given in the former's biodata was false. All the arguments made in his reply support the allegations against him.

Dr. Chandrababu made the bizarre claim that he was a visiting scientist while he visited some of the universities in the United States. However, he was not able to produce any official documents to support this claim. As per the RTI issued by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Dr. Chandrababu has not been a visiting faculty member in any foreign university during his service. The universities of California and North Carolina in the United States and the Berkeley Joint Bioenergy Institute announced by e-mail that he was not a visiting faculty member.
