Crores of money are stake here in Andhra Pradesh for the traditional cockfights.On one side there is no festival in some areas of Vijaywada. But the preparations for the Cockfights are on.
The court orders could not stop the cockfights in AP. Even the police cannot control the crowds as they are continuing the tradition for decades.
Defying the earlier orders of the Court on conducting cockfights, two politicians in Andhra Pradesh participated in the blood sport in East Godavari’s Pithapuram town last Sankranthi.
The preparations for the cockfights are in full swing. In Hyderabad, enthusiasts are planning to conduct the cockfights on the rooftops to avoid the police dragnet.
The leaders of the TDP, Congress and others are getting ready to take part in a cockfight as part of the Janmabhoomi Maa Vooru programme in the town.
So as usual despite some objections and restrictions, the cockfights will take place in AP. Crores are at stake for the festival cockfights this season.
