In 2014 LS polls, the shocker for the TMC , was that the BJP did not even have a major presence in West Bengal until then, even though its origins have a Bengali connect: Syama Prasad Mookerjee had founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the predecessor to the BJP.

Food ministry is moving towards making ration cards portable to help migrant workers. But the scheme hinges on operational point-of-sale devices and their last-mile reach. At these fair price shops, numbering nearly 5.35 lakh across India, 23 crore ration card holders can every month buy up to 5 kg of rice at Rs 3/kg, wheat at Rs 2/kg and coarse grains at Rs 1/kg.
Ravi Kant, secretary, food & public distribution said that the purpose of one nation, one ration card scheme is to ensure nationwide portability in distribution of subsidised foodgrain to beneficiaries [under the National Food Security Act] without the need for them to get a new ration card. This will provide benefit to migrant workers, labourers and daily wagers.
