The reports were accurate, and in fact the Maoists now appear to have gone well beyond just forming a “Shadow Cabinet” that mimics the form of the government. If this report is accurate, they have explicitly and openly begun to reform the parallel government and reestablish (openly, it’s naive to think it ever totally stopped) revolutionary participatory democracy throughout the country.
The background to this is the failure of both the Maoist-led government and the current government to set up local administrative councils in Nepal. This marks a clearly identifiable point at which the UCPN (M) and it’s leaders have decided to take an action that does appear (to my admittedly far from expert eye) to be in violation of the peace accords. The peace accords are already in tatters of course, and have been broken several times by the military before this, notably with their recruitment of new soldiers, and therefore nobody can accuse the Maoists of “starting it”, but it’s a very significant development nonetheless.
Things are getting exciting in Nepal!
Maoists to revive parallel Govt Structure: Dr.Bhattarai (http://telegraphnepal.com/news_det.php?news_id=6198)

The Nepal Communist Party-Unified Maoists’ has decided to speedily revive the party’s local parallel government.
The fresh decision taken by the Maoists’ Party is against the broader peace agreement signed between the State and the then Maoists’ rebels, claim sources.
The Unified Maoists’ steering committee meeting held in the party headquarters Kathmandu had decided to revive the parallel structure.
“The process of revival of the local parallel government will be accomplished with the support of the Unified Uprising Committee”, said Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai, the Maoists party vice chairman.
Dr. Bhattarai was of the opinion that since the United Marxist Leninists and the Nepali Congress have ignored the Maoists’ proposal to establish local administration on the basis of the votes garnered by each parties in the proportional voting system, the Maoists’ party have decided to appoint local government on its own.
