MD. Gouse YSR, a young and dedicated political leader from Telangana, currently serves as the Chevella Parliament Steering Committee Member and Vikarabad District Campaign Secretary for the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). Born on December 21, 1995, in Zahirabad, his commitment to public service and passion for social welfare were inspired by the visionary leadership of Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. Since joining YSRCP in 2015, Gouse has risen through the ranks, actively promoting welfare schemes, improving local infrastructure, and addressing community issues. His work during the COVID-19 pandemic further demonstrated his dedication to the people of Vikarabad and surrounding areas.
Early Life and Education
MD. Gouse YSR, a young and dynamic political figure from Telangana, has steadily risen through the ranks of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) to hold important leadership positions in the Vikarabad district and Chevella Parliament constituency. Born on December 21, 1995, in Zahirabad, Telangana, to MD. Mahaboob and Shahena Begum, Gouse developed a keen interest in serving his community from an early age.
His early education took place at Zilla Parishad High School (ZPHS) in Adikcherla village, where he studied from the 1st to the 7th standard. He completed his Secondary School Certificate (SSC) at ZPHS Tattepalli, a neighboring village. His modest upbringing and strong educational foundation laid the groundwork for his future as a community leader and political activist.
Inspiration from Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy
Gouse’s political ambitions were deeply influenced by Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR), the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, whose visionary leadership and progressive policies left an indelible mark on the state’s history. YSR’s focus on welfare schemes, especially those targeting the poor, farmers, and marginalized sections of society, inspired Gouse to join public life. Gouse believed that YSRCP, under the leadership of Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, would carry forward his father’s legacy by continuing to uplift the weaker sections of society and implementing people-centric governance.
Joining YSR Congress Party (YSRCP)
In 2015, Gouse officially joined the YSR Congress Party with a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of people from his home region. His commitment to the party’s vision and his passion for public service was quickly recognized by party officials. Just two months after joining, Gouse was appointed Mandal General Secretary of Peddemul.
Although his tenure in this role was short, lasting only five months, Gouse made a significant impact, and his hard work did not go unnoticed. His dedication and efficiency led to his appointment as District Campaign Secretary of Vikarabad in 2016, a position that allowed him to engage with the people of Vikarabad at a more profound level and build his political career.
Chevella Parliament Steering Committee Member
As a testament to his growing influence within the party and his demonstrated commitment to his constituency, Gouse was appointed Chevella Parliament Steering Committee Member in 2021. In this role, he works to strengthen the presence of YSRCP in the Chevella Parliamentary constituency, ensuring that the party’s policies and initiatives are well communicated to the public. His ability to engage with voters and his deep understanding of local issues have made him an invaluable asset to the party.
