According to PM Modi, J&K and Lotus have a close relationship.

These streams are dotted with lotuses.. A lotus is another part of the 50-year-old Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association's logo. Is this a coincidence or a sign from nature, considering that Jammu & Kashmir has a significant relationship with the lotus and that the BJP's emblem is a lotus as well?
In his remarks at his first rally in Srinagar since Article 370 was repealed, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the Congress and its allies, accusing them of misleading the people of J&K about the specifics of the legislation.
PM Modi says that developing J&K is a top priority for developed India.

"I've been informed that 1 lakh individuals from 285 blocks have virtually joined us. I express my gratitude to the people of Jammu & Kashmir. We have been waiting for that new J&K for decades. The new J&K is what Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee gave his life for. This new J&K is brave enough to face obstacles head-on and has a promising future.140 crore people are content in this country after seeing your joyful faces.
