"It is good that it appeared the Prime Minister has started remembering the poll promises," Janardan Dwivedi told reporters.
In an apparent reference to the situation caused by demonetisation of high monetary notes, he said at least today "socialism has been ushered in India" in view of the fact that those who have lot of resources and those who are 'have nots' have become equal.
He said the claims made while declaring the demonetisation were that it would eliminate black money, improve the economy, curb terrorism as also resources for anti-national activities and help the common man.
"If all these happen, then it should be welcomed."
Dwivedi, however, said his remarks should be seen as personal opinion or satire.
Replying to a question, he lamented that the situation obtaining today is that only those who are resourceful could play a role in the field of politics, economics and business and common man has virtually no role there.
In remarks laced with sarcasm, Gandhi said on Twitter "Well done Mr Modi".
"Real culprits" who have stashed black money are "sitting tight" while lives of farmers, small shopkeepers and housewives "have been thrown in utter chaos," he said in a series of tweets.
Modi last night announced that Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes will no longer be legal tender in a bid to fight against black money and corruption.
