According to this Poll, Some Members want to divert August Kranti Rajdhani Via Jaipur instead of Via Kota ( this poll is just for opinion don't take it personally👍)
So I want to ask Every one, Is there any Rajdhani permanently diverted from its original route in the History of IR?

The logic of other members isn't wrong!
See, the point of Rajdhani is to provide fastest connectivity from state capital to national capital, and usually by shortest route. There is a bit of leeway provided in second clause, but the cases don't justify increasing travel time by multiple hours as would be required in your case.
See, a Raj is created for state capital, and as such majority quota is blocked out for end to end passengers; SR bound raj don't follow this as they don't have much E-E passengers but the ones

starting from Mumbai won't get that exception. With that rule, hardly any seats would be available for Rajasthan based passengers and thus would hardly provide any use; a Duronto or even better, an SFE would serve your cause better.
The Era of Rajdhani having much shorter travel time is behind us, as many trains are getting 130 kmph sanctions and seeing reduction in travel times now. The route via rajasthan isn't suitable for 130 so not much benefit would be gained by change of state anyways!

Mumbai and Mumbai based rajs are, so as to say, kinda weird. Their user base is rather varied, so as to say, and has lead to success of all 3 rajdhani.
1)12951 and 12953: these raj derive their user base not just from Mumbai but also from Surat, which is arguably amongst the top 10 cities in India. The passenger base from both Mumbai and surat is bound to Delhi, so intermediate booking does not apply. Another unique point from which they derive passengers is Kota, which is a major entrance coaching hub and has many people from and around Mumbai studying there, leaving to significant people traveling that way

22221: Mumbai suffers from a major problem of having North South connectivity but not east west one. As a result it is inconvenient for people staying on the eastern side of Mumbai (where, owing to the geography of Mumbai a significant chunk actually stays) to travel towards western line. CR bound raj derives a good chunk of passengers from this, along with deriving passengers from Nasik and Jalgaon who earlier had to rely on much slower Mangala SFE or Punjab mail to reach delhi.
.
The user base of these trains doesn't have a significant overlap as you might think.

So what may be option for Jaipur, Ajmer people?
As we know Gangaur, DEE BDTS GR and Aravali all are full packed in every saason..these trains have Long waiting list
GR can not be daily bcs making of new GR coach is almost shut down permanently
Jaipur mumbai Via SWM Kota so many trains... We want a train on Garibrath or Aravali
...
more...
Route Via AII ABR ADI. And both Trains TT are very slackful and time lengthy.
So We can see only a Rajdhani can have aggressive TT.. Humsafar and AC Exp wil also have slow TT

If A new Rajdhani Introduce it may take 15-15:30 hrs.. For Jaipur Mumbai journey
GR take 18-19 hrs... Aravali take 21 hrs
