Nit pick. Don't confuse between 'leader of one of the opposition parties' and 'Leader of Opposition[1]' which is an official title. Sisodia is not part of Parliament of India (let alone LoP) so the official title doesn't apply to him. He was/is(?) the excise minister of Delhi state when the 'supposed-liquor-scam' took place, hence the arrest. No idea if the allegations are legit; there are 28 states in India and one of 28 Excise minster is arrested.

Absolutely. Indeed, Manish Sisodia is a 'leader of one of the opposition parties'. But HN does not allow too many characters in the post title hence I tried to add more information in a comment under my post. :)

  Then correct the title. He is not an opposition leader, he is the sitting Excise minister in the Delhi State Government.

    HN has title length limit so it does not allow adding 'leader of one of the opposition parties' to the title. Also, Manish Sisodia is Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, part of AAP, which is a national party of India so I don't think its wrong to use "an opposition leader" for him.

      He is not the leader of opposition in any sense of the word. How about changing the title to "Delhi Excise miniter arrested for Liquor scam"?

        I never said "leader of opposition", I said "opposition leader". Manish Sisodia is Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, part of AAP, which is a national party of India. AAP's candidate got highest number of votes agains Modi in Varanasi election, so I think "opposition leader" term can definitely be used for Manish Sisodia. And I don't think they have arrested him for alleged Liquor scam. If they start arresting people for alleged scams then Adani and several others are much ahead in line.

        > I never said "leader of opposition", I said "opposition leader". He is in the government, not in opposition. Correct the title

        Manish got arrested by BJP Centre Government. Last time I checked, Manish is clearly an opposition to BJP Centre Government even if he is in power in a state/territory. So the title is correct imho.

        Title should read: Delhi Excise minister arrested for liquor scam

        Did you mean "alleged" scam or court already read the verdict? ;)

Nitpick: Nobody claimed Sisodiya was the LoP.

  Opposition leader means that a leader who sits in the opposition. Sisodia is part of Delhi state government so he can't be an opposition leader in Delhi state assembly. He also can't be an opposition leader in the Centre since he is not a parliamentarian.

    In my dictionary, Opposition leader means that a leader who belongs to opposition party to the government.
