Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday said the Sampark Kranti Express train between Ahmedabad and Delhi will be renamed as Akshardham Express as a tribute to Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the spiritual guru of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. He made the announcement as part of the month-long Pramukh Swami centenary celebrations of the BAPS Swaminarayan sect, which was launched on December 14 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and current BAPS chief Mahant Swami Maharaj.
