Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal on Saturday morning met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and offered to resign over the bribery scandal involving his nephew.

According to sources, the PM is expected to turn down Bansal's offer.

Congress sources ruled out the possibility of Dr Singh accepting Bansal's resignation, saying the party had become used to opposition BJP asking for the resignation of its ministers.

The party is expected to take a final decision at the meeting of the Congress Core Group today evening.
