Indian National Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi's recent interaction with the students at Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies in Mumbai has Twitter buzzing again.

Gandhi addressed the students of the NMIMS in Mumbai on January 16, reports The Indian Express.

Soon a clipping of the Congress vice-president’s speech went viral, wherein he supposedly said: “…One day you’re going to run this country, run the institutions, you will be the Steve Jobs in the Microsofts and the leaders … the Facebooks of this country…”

A Youtube user recorded and uploaded a part of the speech.

Though, to give Gandhi the benefit of doubt, he may have been saying, “…the Steve Jobs and the Microsofts and the leaders…”, or it could have just been a slip of the tongue, but then that could not stop the online trolling. People started posting with the hashtag #SteveJobsOfMicrosoft.

There were some who were still sceptical, so they decided to run a poll!
