The observed sequence

  2. Fadnavis and Shinde appeared together at the November 1 Thane rally. Date-only reporting normalised to noon IST; event time not established. Source report

Alternative explanation: A routine joint programme may coexist with unresolved local disagreements.

What would weaken this interpretation: Separate campaigns, withdrawal of shared demands or failure to agree on joint decisions would weaken this interpretation.
