No one in Jammu and Kashmir wants Article 370 back," Reddy told reporters here. "The people of Jammu and Kashmir will reject any attempt to revive Article 370 and will support the BJP's vision for peace, progress, and development in the upcoming elections instead of terrorism and separatism patronised by others," he added.
