Nitish Kumar also took a dig at PM Modi saying "he should keep a record (while speaking on corruption), of the type of people he aligns with".
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today declined to speak on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from the Lok Sabha, saying he avoided doing so in matters involving court order.
However, Mr Kumar said his party, the JD(U), has commented on the issue.
Talking to reporters in Patna, Nitish Kumar reiterated the need for a united opposition saying he was "waiting" for the Congress to move ahead on the same even as he scoffed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's contention that "the corrupt were joining hands".
"It is his (Modi's) habit to keep saying things. These people believe only in self-praise. They cannot speak well of others. We do our job but also appreciate the good work of others. I have always remembered what had been achieved during the rule of late Atal Bihari Vajpayee", said Mr Kumar, who had served in the cabinet of the BJP patriarch.
