It's a manic Monday today in the politics of India's largest state, with Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and his father Mulayam seemingly going head-to-head against each other.

Will Akhilesh tamp down after Mulayam's warning that "while the youngsters in the party think they are goons, I am the bigger goon here"?

And even if they do make an uneasy peace today, is it all downhill for the party from here?

Who will benefit the most from the SP's self-goal -- the BJP or BSP?
