What's wrong with Longorkhana?

Perhaps, some opposition parties were about to open a number of Longorkhana to feed the hungry people in that region. But the government cautioned, 'don't try to open any Longorkhana'. I got the impression that serving the hungry people by parties other than the government is not good for the incumbent leadership.

Then the question arises why the government failed to feed its people? What is more important -- saving the government's face or the lives of the citizens? If the government feels Longorkhana was not at all required, the people would not go there to take food even if the opposition or some philanthropists opened those for gaining cheap popularity!

I find nothing wrong in opening some Longorkhana. Then why was this cautionary signal issued that amounted to stopping feeding the hungry people? Isn't it like killing a child showing the logic that it is their (parents') production? What does the law say? Does it permit killing one's own sons or daughters?
