Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav today said Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav was surrounded by sycophants. Taking a dig at his own party-led government, Mulayam cautioned Akhilesh to be wary of such officials who eroded the government's capacity to deliver. Addressing a function in Lucknow marking the launch of various power projects, the SP chief said ministers who did not perform will be hauled after the Lok Sabha elections.
