Modi arrived at Dehradun's Jolly Grant airport on schedule at about 7 am, and was to travel ahead by helicopter.

He waited there for over four hours for the weather to clear up for the helicopter to take off.

Addressing the Rudrapur rally over the phone, he apologised for not being able to make it to the venue.
