Kishor has been in constant was of words with his former party. Kishor was expelled from JDU after he targeted NDA over amended citizenship law, taking directly on former BJP chief and Home Minister Amit Shah and indulging in a war-of-words with deputy chief minister of Bihar Sushil Modi, but more so, after engaging in an open spat with Nitish Kumar over how he came to be a member of party in first place.

He claimed that Nitish h lied when he said that Kishor h come via reference of Amit Shah. Kishor has since heavily criticised Bihar CM, and will undertake an outreach of his own called 'Baat Bihar Ki'.
