To be Honest, this train doesnot deserve the category of Sampark Kranti. Its just a clone of Sealdah Rajdhani with Sleeper class.

Compared to Sampark kranti of Other states this train has 3 halts in West Bengal, whereas sampark kranti of all south Indian states(KA,TN,KL,AP,OD) have more than 5 halts in their own state , Sampark kranti of North Indian states(UP,UK,BR,JH,AS,MP,RJ) have 5 or more than 5 halts in their own state.
Maharashtra,
...

Gujarat have 2 Sampark krantis i.e 6+1=7 halts in MH , Gujarat SK(both) 5+3=8 halts in Gujarat .

If you feel the same comment where should sampark kranti of West Bengal originate?
