Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi, who hit the headlines after adopting a tsunami-hit village, Monday drew flak from Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha for not doing "anything tangible" on the ground.

Oberoi had "attracted maximum publicity without doing anything for the tsunami victims. He has just done 10 percent of the tsunami relief work while the government did the rest at Thevanapattinam village," Jayalalitha said in the state assembly.

Even that ten per cent work was not done from Oberoi's own money but from donors, she added in response to a statement on the issue by PMK leader G.K. Mani.

Oberoi Sunday said he was moving the Rs. 110 million Project Hope model village to Pattinachery near Pondicherry as the Tamil Nadu government had failed to provide land on safe ground.

The project envisages building 300 tsunami-proof permanent houses for fisherfolk.

Contending that prospective donors had backtracked, Oberoi said the Pondicherry government had processed his land application "in just 10 days".

"The Tamil Nadu government was not responsible for his decision," Jayalalitha said while denying Mani's charge that Oberoi had gone to Pondicherry only because the government did not allot him land.
