Kishor revealed that the Congress proposed the formation of Empowered Action Group (EAG), a move he opposed.

Contrary to speculation, Kishor dismissed the likelihood of the AAP overshadowing the Congress and replicating its Delhi model in other states.

While acknowledging the BJP's recent electoral successes, Kishor warned that the party would inevitably face pressure to accommodate family members of its leaders in positions of power.
