"I personally apologise on behalf of the BJP to the people of Delhi, NCR (National Capital Region) and the neighbouring states for the inconvenience caused to them due to the traffic disruptions during the rally," Gadkari said in a statement released here.


Traffic crawled across central Delhi through Wednesday morning to evening as thousands of BJP workers gathered for the rally, the first show of strength for Gadkari.

The rally hit traffic movement across central Delhi, disrupting traffic on Tilak Marg, Asaf Ali Road, Netaji Subhash Marg, Ranjit Singh Marg, Tolstoy Marg, Sikandra Road, Barakhamba Road, Parliament Street and Ashoka Road -- most of which lie in the city's heart. Also hit were Mathura Road and Ring Road, two of the capital's busiest roads.

Gadkari, who fainted briefly due to the scorching summer heat as he led a mammoth procession from the Ramlila Ground towards parliament, about four kilometres away, also thanked workers and party members for their contribution in having an "unprecedented turnout" at the rally
