New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will resign Sunday and the process for formation of a new government headed by him is expected to be completed by Monday.

Singh and rest of the Cabinet will resign on Sunday, Congress sources said after the Prime Minister met party chief Sonia Gandhi at her residence.

Subsequently, a meeting of the Congress Parliamentary Board will be called which will be followed by a meeting of UPA, they said.

The entire process will be completed in a couple of days, the sources said.

Earlier, the Prime Minister said he would try to persuade Rahul Gandhi to join the Cabinet.
