People gathered from Hyderabad, Chennai and Bengaluru to watch these matches. Film and political personalities raised noise at many places.

Extortion by managers..

The organizers looted the people who came to watch the cock race. Everything from car parking to food was sold at double the price. Car parking fee of Rs 200 was collected at one place in Kankipadu mandal of Christa district. On the other hand, liquor is flowing near the weights. There is talk of the police ignoring it as it is the festival season.

This trend spread to the districts.

This chicken racing culture, which was earlier limited to a few areas, has now spread to many districts. Comments are being heard that chicken racing, which was once entertaining, has now become a good business. That is why it is believed that many people are earning crores of rupees by rearing chickens, selling them and controlling their weight.

Managers share..

Organizers take part in betting on the chicken and take a share from the winners. Apart from this, from parking of bicycles and two-wheelers to liquor in bars, they are also charging huge amounts from other shopkeepers. Along with this, allegations are being made that the pockets of common people are being filled in the name of betting.

Crores of rupees..

Film actors and big businessmen from Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai along with other districts of Andhra Pradesh are coming to Godavari districts to watch and place bets on the chicken races. There is talk that transactions worth crores of rupees take place only during festival days. This year, elaborate arrangements have been made to organize the chicken race for four days from 12th to 15th.
