Pot calling the kettle black

A huge public rally addressed by Narendra Modi in Mumbai last week provoked an amusing reaction from Bal Thackeray. Obviously unsettled by the rally's success and the prospect of the BJP unseating the Sena in Maharashtra, Thackeray dressed Modi down, thus:
“Muslims are terrified (of him). This is his formula in politics...but when power goes to our head, you can't say how a person will behave.”
Then it goes over the edge:
''Only the Shiv Sena pattern will work in Maharashtra.''
Hmmm. So Balasaheb, how exactly is the Sena pattern different than the Modi pattern?
