Fathers and sons

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav got a public dressing down earlier this week from none other than his father and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav. Yadav senior was speaking at an event and his son was sitting on the dais with some SP leaders. At one point, he turned to the Chief Minister and enquired about the help extended by the Centre to those affected by the flood in Uttar Pradesh. Akhilesh, who was busy speaking with someone, failed to answer his father's question. Yadav senior then lost his cool and gave his son a piece of his mind.
