Kolkata, Aug 17 (IBNS): In a bid to attract more investments and partnerships, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee commenced her first foreign trip as she left for Singapore on Sunday.

The opposition parties have criticisied Banerjee's foreign trip.

Criticising Banerjee's visit to Sinagpore, West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee President Adhir Chowdhury told media: "Everything will end in  smoke..In a state where the Tata (Motors) had to leave, I strongly  doubt whether any other foreign investor will arrive here."
