Becasue it did no tilt the balance.
Read the article. It is mentioned that the president is going to seek trust vote, as it was on left's support letter the UPA was asked to form the governemnt after the election results were declared. Thier support tilted the balance then and for the future of the government.
Had SP submited a letter of support to the presedent (as it is not mandatory now) and had it tilted the balance, then may be there could be an option as not to seek trust vote.
But in a democratic setup, it is a rule to seek trust vote when there is visible tilt in the balance be within the positive side also.
Note: Kalam asked left a letter of support to ensure the stabilty of government and to sapre the the tax payer from another election is a short time

The number of MPs with the leader matters yaar. Mayawati hasn't got the numbers to topple the government, but the Communists have around 60 MPs who can make a difference. You may remember, when the UPA was making numbers four years ago, a crucial margin of about 30 was needed and after a lot of trading the Commies came forward with about 60 seats offering outside support - that is not joining the Government. So, Somnath Chatterjee was made the Speaker, which is a cabinet minister level position.

It is crime by any party to have alliance with parties having different ideologies.That way Congress has already done a crime by having gone to Communists.On the nation's interest and to avoid a huge expenditure for an election now,some body's support is welcome.But to get SP's support it is said that CBI cases against Mulayam will be withdrawn by Congress.What is this congress?Is it that congress which was originally intended by Mahatma?Really heart is bleeding with the blood of helplessness and agony.Congress party should be reorganised with Dr.Manmohan as leader minus Sonia like elements and other corrupt politicians in that party,psychophants,etc.Is this a DREAM?

That is because it is very clear that there will be no adverse impact because of BSP's withdrawal of support. Wisdom played a role here.
