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?

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!
