VARANASI: He wants to be the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh for a day just to make all ‘dead alive' people officially alive and also make a provision of pension for them.He is Santosh Murat Singh, a dead alive and resident of Chitauni village in Chaubeypur area. He filed his nomination from Shivpur constituency for the assembly election on Wednesday.“There are about 50,000 dead alive people in the state. I have filed nomination to contest election to prove that I am not a dead man, but a living human being. I want to become CM for a day to make such people alive again,” said Singh, who has been on an indefinite dharna at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi since January 1, 2012. “I came from Delhi to file nomination”, he said. But, he is skeptical about contesting the election, as his nomination may be rejected during scrutiny in want of relevant documents. “To prove my point I had also filed nomination for the Presidential election in the past, but it was rejected,” he said.He claimed that he had served the film actor Nana Patekar as cook in Mumbai. His ordeal began when he left for Mumbai in 2000 with Nana, who was in Varanasi for the shooting of a film in his village."Nana Patekar had come to my village for the shooting of his film Aanch in 2000. I went to Mumbai with him and worked as his cook. In Mumbai I married a Maharashtrian dalit girl. After marriage when I returned home I was abused, assaulted and ousted from the community for marrying a low caste girl,” he said adding that he returned Mumbai hoping that time would make things normal.But, later he came to know that he was declared dead on paper by his cousins in 2003, he said adding that his 12.5 acres of ancestral land was also grabbed by them. Since then he has been trying to prove that he is alive. He said that his parents passed away in his childhood.He also claimed that on the intervention of chief minister Akhilesh Yadav an FIR was lodged against his cousins at the Hazrat Ganj police station in Lucknow on June 28, 2012. “But, no action has been taken so far,” he said.
