What actually happened is MMS ditched Sonia on the last moment. For last 4 years MMS was talked out of resigning or moving forward with the deal, by sonia, because of Left. Mukharjee also said, that nothing will happen without concensus with left. Left pulled the support - may be by design or may be knowing that PM will be hard to contain, since everyone knows he is not the next PM of india even if Congress wins. Its going to be Rahul Gandhi. Knowing that fully well, PM had to do something - or at least show he has balls - after all - he has a daughter, otherwise people will make stories about his wife... He can not allow that - so what - and hence he went ahead when he was outside ( or at Home turf ) - since in India he is at Sonia's home - and hence Dog in real sense. So the moment he was out of the cluthes of Sonia - he moved this forward. Sonia must have been surprised - but now its too late - and have to support the MMS. Deal passes or not - its a good move. MMS will refuse to be PM next time - its Rahul in waiting. So its win win for everyone. Or otherwise, price rise will kill them anyway. at least now they have someone, some party to blame.

Whatever may be the reason, Sonia and MMS both would want to lose the trust vote.
After selling the country, they want to run away. Food security gone, banks sold, stock market turned into a casino, bought dollars with rupees creating massive inflation and now they run away.
Both are responsible. Impound Sonia's passport ( does she have Italian passport?), make sure she does not run away.
