It is just because of the faster growth and higher intensity of work. In India, the lower middle is the one whose per capita consumption expenditure is between $2 and $4. There has been an interesting increase of the middle-class 2004-05 to 2011-12 from 28 per cent to 51 per cent.

One should not forget that most of the Indian politicians are included in the list of BPL (BELOW POVERTY LINE) CATEGORY.
