Kishore who was appointed as Principal Advisor to former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh in early March this year had resigned from his post in August and stated, "As you are aware, in view of my decision to take a temporary break from an active role in public life, I have not been able to take over the responsibilities as your (Captain) Principal Advisor."

Earlier, the election strategist was roped in by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) for the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2021 and had indicated in the past that he will quit Twitter if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) performs any better in the state than his prediction.
