Why aren't Bally and Saktigarh called Junctions even though two important routes HB Main and HB Chord merge/ bifurcate at these two stations?

None other than Howrah Rajdhani Great
If all the trains are running on time, this PAIR of RAJDHANI makes highest number of overtakes in it's journey.
The TOTAL number of overtakes by both UP and DN trains (e.g. If 12953 August Kranti Rajdhani makes 15 scheduled overtakes as per IRI TT and 12954 makes 15 overtakes, the total will be 30).
So, which is an OVERTAKE EXPERT RAJDHANI??
