The Raj Bhavan on Tuesday clarified that governor Banwarilal Purohit had levelled charges of corruption in appointments of vice chancellors in the past based on information provided to him by educationists. A press release from the Raj Bhavan said the governor did not make any specific allegation of corruption against anyone while speaking at a function in the city on Saturday.
