Sorry To Disappoint, But Rahul Gandhi Did Not Say 'Steve Jobs Of Microsoft'

Sorry To Disappoint, But Rahul Gandhi Did Not Say 'Steve Jobs Of Microsoft'

We hate to deny you the pleasure of yet another Rahul Gandhi blooper, but some sacrifices must be made at the altar of accuracy.

This morning, Twitterati trolled Rahul Gandhi for a speech he made at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (NMIMS) in Mumbai.

They called him 'dumb', said that he only listens to Honey Singh's Dope-Shope and that he could give a competition to Kapil Sharma and hosted the show 'Comedy Nights With Kapil' while sharing a video clip of the Congress leader's speech.

According to them, this is what Gandhi reportedly said: “…One day you’re going to run this country, run the institutions, you will be the Steve Jobs of Microsofts.. the Facebooks of this country…”

Twitter started mocking Rahul Gandhi for not knowing the founder of Microsoft--Bill Gates.

Soon, #SteveJobsOfMicrosoft soon started trending on Twitter.

Once Jobs had said Think different

Now read this Pappu telling us to become Steve Jobs of Microsoft

This is the video they have been sharing, with some special audio effects-- laughter from Steve Jobs, mocking Rahul.

But a close watching of the video makes it evident that there was no blooper. Gandhi said: "You will be the Steve Jobs and the Microsofts and the leaders of the Facebooks of this country."

Listen to the video here:
