The only mistake of Duronto series is that the train was inaugurated by Mamata. The series could have been so much more than what they currently are, connecting many of the metropolitan regions with each other.

Now this work would hopefully be done by the Sleeper Vande Bharat trains.

Durontos also served Sleeper passengers along with AC passengers, providing premium quality facilities to both of them and good speed too.

What happened to Durontos later happened to Humsafars and will happen to VBEs as well once the govt changes. And govt will obviously change some day. Every govt overdoes their own category of trains and then the next govt replaces previous govt routes with their own category. Duronto was actually introduced on the original Rajdhani concept. When Rajdhani was first introduced, it also had technical halts, later changed to commercial.
