Why should Somnath quit as Speaker? The Left's opposition is to the Nuclear Deal. By having their man on the seat of the speaker, they can really frustrate the government and finger the givt and every step since speaker can not be impeached easily. They will be real fools if they ask Somnath to step down.

What do you mean the speaker can not be impeached easily? It only takes a 14 day's notice and a SIMPLE MAJORITY of the members of the current Lok Sabha to remove the speaker (or deputy speaker0 from the office. You can be sure that if the Congrss patrey moved such motion them the BJP will have no qualms in supporting it.
