JAMSHEDPUR: BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today apologised to the media for the inconvenience caused by his party supporters who surged closer to media enclosure at a rally here at Gopal Maidan.

"Aap loagon ke chalte patrakar banduon ko aasuvidha ho rahi hai. Patrakar bandhu iss sabha ki report pure desh dunia mein pahuchayeinge. Aap sab unhe apna kaam karne dein. (Mediapesons are facing difficulty to discharge their responsibility because of you people. They have come here to cover the event and aware people about it. Please take your place and allow them to do their job), Modi said while apologising to mediapersons for the inconvenience.

"I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you (scribes)," Modi said before he started addressing the huge gathering in support of party candidate from Jamshedpur Bidyut Baran Mahato at Gopal Maidan here.
