Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's confrontation with the Modi government over migrant laborers and many matters is well known. She did not implement schemes like Ayushman Bharat or Kisan Samman Nidhi related to public welfare due to political profit and loss in Bengal. Now that these poor and laborers can get government ration during their stay in any part of the country, the Central Government announced this scheme on Thursday, now it has started opposing it too. The Mamta government of Bengal has clearly stated that it will not implement the 'One Nation, One Ration Card' scheme announced by the Center.

In his statement, State Food Minister Jyotipriya Mallik said, 'Our government has already decided that we will not implement this scheme. We had taken this decision 6-7 months ago. The Food Partner Scheme is already running in our state. So nothing has to be done separately. Presently 9 crore people are benefitted by food. I do not know how the words of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will apply.

The BJP leaders have raised the question about this decision, what is the problem with the Mamata government with the 'One Nation, One Ration Card' scheme? From here, lakhs of people go to different states of the country for wages and jobs. If they will get ration in Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Karnataka, Delhi, Maharashtra from the ration card made here, then why is Mamata government doing politics? Why are people being denied the benefits of central government schemes? Earlier, the people of the state have been deprived of Ayushman Bharat and Kisan Samman Nidhi and now they are also intent on doing away with 'One Nation, One Ration Card'.
