Sonia actually has the left in a constitutional trap. Both the heads of the Lok sabha and rajya sabha are left candidates. Will they dissolve their own houses?

Nagesh. Lok sabha and Rajya sabha heads are from left since when? Yesterday? If not, then they have always had this dilemma of dissolving own house everytime they wielded the threat to government on the nuke issue. Where does Sonia come into the picture now?

If Left withdraws support, that's what the speakers of the respective houses will have to do, dissolve their own houses, ain't it?

The speaker does not normally vote in the house unless it is a tie and is supposed to stay impartial.

Even assuming speaker is not required to vote, and the voting determines that the government does not enjoy majority. Who officially dissolves the house then?
