NEW DELHI, March 7 (Reuters) - A key member of India's Congress-led coalition put off its plan to resign ministerial posts until Tuesday, offering respite to a government fighting to win back public trust after a raft of corruption scandals.
The Dravida Munnetra Kazagham, which gives Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's coalition vital support in parliament, had said its six ministers would quit the coalition on Monday because of a row over seats to be contested in a local election next month.
But a leader of the southern party said resignations were put on hold after the two sides launched talks to repair their alliance. (Reporting by Sanjeev Miglani; 91-11-4178100; Editing by Ron Popeski)
