He was caught in a net of contradictory denials, and finally admitted that an aide had taken part in the Recruit offerings, using the Minister's name. Ironically, the fall of Miyazawa strengthened the political position of Takeshita, since the men had been rivals in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
