Patrika enters Madhya Pradesh

After long wait and amid speculations regarding launch date Patrika has finally stepped into Madhya Pradesh. This will be first time outside Rajasthan when two arch rivals of Hindi print media space Rajasthan Patrika and Dainik Bhaskar will be face to face. Madhya Pradesh is the home turf of Dainik Bhaskar and it has rivalled Patrika when it entered Rajasthan more than a decade ago. Other players in the Bhopal market are Navdunia, Dainik Jagran, Navbharat and Raj Express. Smaller players may lose in the battle royal.
Rajasthan Patrika's Managing Director and Editor Gulab Kothari in a special editorial has not only hit out at his newspaper's arch rival for bringing down the standard of journalism in Madhya Pradesh but also promised readers of Madhya Pradesh a new dawn.
