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.

Dear Rahul Gandhi - please leave India. You are dumb, dumber, dumbest 🙌 https://t.co/wdQELMBkyP

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:

"Although Steve could be extremely rude, critical, and occasionally even vindictive, he also was incredibly joyful, with an infectious grin and energy that was irresistible. In the early days at NeXT he would often come bounding in, hungry to get to work. " (credit:Fearless Genius: The Digital Revolution in Silicon Valley 1985-2000 by Doug Menuez)

Steve was a consummate showman who understood the power of a compelling setting. This was never more apparent than at this incongruously formal lunch he hosted for Ross Perot and the NeXT board of directors in the middle of the abandoned warehouse.
