Soon after the news came out, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh reacted to it and questioned the bank's decision to withdraw from the auction. Taking it to Twitter, now X, he wrote, "Yesterday afternoon the nation got to know that Bank of Baroda had put up the Juhu residence of BJP MP Sunny Deol for e-auction since he has not paid up Rs 56 crore owed to the Bank. This morning, in less than 24 hours, the nation has got to know that the Bank of Baroda has withdrawn the auction notice due to 'technical reasons'. Wonder who triggered these 'technical reasons'?"
