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."
