Making clear her prime ministerial aspirations, BSP supremo Mayawati today asked party workers to ensure a big victory for BSP in the next general elections and warned them against becoming a 'saleable commodity'.

Addressing a rally of party workers here, the former UP Chief Minister asked her party workers to ensure a big victory for BSP in the next general elections so that she can 'deliver Independence Day speech as prime minister from the Red Fort'.

Mayawati cautioned her party cadre to remain alert against forces that might "try to corrupt them" during the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections. "Don't become a saleable commodity," she warned.

She accused the Congress and the BJP of conspiring to stall the bill on quota in promotion for SCs/STs in government jobs and promised that if her party comes to power at the Centre, it would ensure that it is implemented.
