Why Rahul demanded statehood for J&K on his visit?

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on a two-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, demanded on Tuesday the restoration of full statehood to the Union Territory (UT). However, in the process, he, like other responsible party leaders of the party, evaded mentioning the contentious Article 370. This may be because of the general perception which is believed to be in favour of the Modi government's move on the controversial article of the Constitution.
