Modi talks of nation building in his final speech as PM before the country goes to polls in 2019.

Here are highlights:

>> Since 2014, I am experiencing that the 125 crore Indians have not stopped after electing their government, they are continuously working towards the progress of the Nation

>> We are very proud of what we have achieved but at the same time, we also have to look at where we have come from. That is when we will realise the unbelievable strides the nation has taken

>> If we had continued at the same pace at which toilets were being constructed in 2013, the pace at which electrification was happening in 2013, then it would have taken us decades to complete

>> The demand for higher MSP was pending for years. From farmers to political parties to agriculture experts, everybody was asking about it but nothing happened. With the blessings of the farmers, the decision on MSP was taken by our Government

>> Who did not want the passage of the GST yet it was pending for years? Last year GST became a reality. I want to thank the business community for the success of the GST

>> "We got the insolvency and Bankruptcy code. No one had the courage, but we did it. Why was Benami property act not brought in place? We had the courage to bring it in practice. Our jawans were struggling for the One Rank One Pension  policy. You gave us the responsibility and we fulfilled it

>> From being seen as among the fragile five, India is now the land of reform, perform and transform. We are poised for record economic growth
