West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday launched her campaign for next year's assembly elections with a public rally in the state's Bankura, saying that she would win even if locked up in jail and accused the BJP of offering money to Trinamool Congress MLAs to switch sides. Calling the BJP the "biggest curse of the nation", she dared the party to arrest her. "The BJP is not a political party but garbage of lies. Whenever elections arrive, they bring up the issue of Narada (sting operation) and Saradha (scam) to intimidate TMC (Trinamool Congress) leaders," she said.
