"I am not a good speaker, but I take decisions. I believe that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. What is the record of Advani?" Singh said while his interaction with members of the Indian Women's Press Corps.
Singh attacked Advani for repeatedly calling him a weak Prime Minister.
"I am not used to abusive language. That is the culture inherited from parents, from teachers and the concept of what Indianness is. Using harsh language does not solve any problem and accentuates conflict," he said.
Singh also admitted that his government had failed to ward off terror attacks.
"We have not been successful in warding off terrorist attacks," he added.
