Nitish also warned Team Anna to know its limit.
A day after activist Arvind Kejriwal, a key member of Team Anna, said the team hoped that Nitish Kumar, who had on June 30 promised them that he would enact a strong Lokayukta law, brings a strong bill on the lines of the one passed by Uttarakhand assembly.
But Bihar government's proposed Lokayukta bill is a copy of the much-criticised Centre's draft, against which Anna sat on a fast, Kejriwal had said.
Kejriwal said their team is opposed to Nitish government's bill.
Nitish said without naming Arvind Kejriwal that he should be cautious in choosing words when speaking about him.
Acording to a draft cleared by the Bihar cabinet, the Lokayukta in the state will be a three-member body led by a chairperson.
The chief minister's office will come under the ambit of the Lokayukta, as also its own investigation and prosecution wings.
Nitish claimed that he had brought in several innovations to counter corruption and to implement welfare schemes to ensure its benefit reaches the poor.
"What I did in last six year of my rule in Bihar, no one has
done in post-independent India," Nitish added.
