If he would have been present in Ayodhya, he would have prevented Srirama from going to forest at any cost. It is his ill-luck, he was away from home. As such he feels for it.

In the world, when everyone is bent upon passing his own faults to others, Sri Bharata prepares to take the fault of others on himself for the events which he has no connection whatsoever. It is no wonder that poet Kamban states, even thousands of Srirama put together cannot equal Sri Bharata.

Thus Sri Bharata has been depicted as one of the finest characters of Srimad Ramayana.
