There is no logic behind this, persons income taxed on the basis of slabs and total income below RS.500,000/- then tax on long term capital gains will be more than the short term capital gains.

Precisely, if we ignore the slab (as in case of company, firms etc) the tax rate for LTCG is lower that STCG (Opposite to Priya's query)and the logic is obvious- keep the capital assets for longer period and pay less Income Tax.
