Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that the government intends to lower the fuel prices, but since the states do not want to bring fuel under the ambit of the GST, hence petrol prices are not coming down. "If your question is do you want the petrol prices to come down then the answer is yes. Now, if your question is why the petrol prices are not coming down, then the answer is because the states don't want to bring it under GST," Puri said
