- Through his lawyer, the JD(U) leader demands an unconditional public apology within seven days or he will file criminal proceedings and a civil suit seeking ₹100 crore.
- Ashok Choudhary rejects the allegations as false and politically motivated, saying the cited property was legally bought by his daughter with disclosed income and has no link to the trust named by Kishor.
- The minister notes he earlier filed a separate defamation case in which a Patna court has summoned Kishor on October 17 in complaint case no. 6989/2025.
- The Bihar BJP has intensified a counter-narrative, alleging Kishor raised hundreds of crores via shell companies, including claims of over ₹370 crore from West Bengal and a ₹14 crore payment from Ayodhya Rami Reddy, which Kishor’s critics say warrants scrutiny.
- JD(U) leaders have asked Choudhary to respond to the charges as the dispute escalates into legal and political confrontation weeks before the assembly elections.
