Hypermuscular Hindu Hridaysamrat 
Recently, Rahul Gandhi was asked about the change in his image in the Bharat Jodo Yatra. "Rahul Gandhi is in your mind. I have killed him long back. The person who you are looking at right now is not Rahul Gandhi. You might be able to see him," Rahul Gandhi said adding that one may understand his statement if they study the Hindu religion.
@himachalite
@Gaudapada thoughts resident Hinduism scholars?
"This is the condition of the Congress. A 50-year-old says he has killed cold, he has killed himself. Tu kya hai phir? Jinn hai? If you have killed yourself then who is this person? Had I told something like that, people would have thought I was having fits," Owaisi said in Hyderabad.
Lmao based jihadi.

It's an attempt to use the language of neo vedanta. The idea is that your true self is the eternal imperishable brahman whereas your false self (the ego) superimposes itself on the true self to make you forget your identity. By killing your false self (ego) your true seld shines forward. After you achieve this state, the Atma becomes a dispassionate observer while the body still acts. One may appear to be moving around, speaking, acting, etc but the inhabiting soul has achieved a Jnani state and observes without getting attached to the material world. Once the body dies, enlightenment is achieved.

I think it might be like how you're supposed to be reborn after you take on the sacred thread. But that doesn't involve any actual change so idk.

I don't think this interpretation fits because it's too caste specific to garner votes. Check out my neovedanta explanation in this thread. Neovedanta is a modernized version of advaita vedanta(the strict caste requirements of Shankara are done away with for instance) so it has a wider appeal.

Tbf as much as I love dunking on chamarcels bragging about being a Brahmin isn't really bad electorally, at least in north India I know Tamil Nadu is a separate story.

That demographic is locked in for the bjp already. Gandhi can't afford to lose more votes to obc parties so he really can't bring up caste. Besides he's a mleccha
