Seems your SSH key has a passphrase. At least the ask-password program tries to come up. Either have a passphrase SSH key or start a ssh-agent and pass it's location specified by SSH_AUTH_SOCK to the environment in Jenkins startup script.

Should go: Either have a passphrase *free* SSH key...

I do have passphrase free ssh key setup. I can clone using command line but when i use in jenkin either same script or GIT URL..got error.

jenkins installed on /var/lib/jenkins and if i clone from command line /home/xyz/git clone ssh://git.xyz.com:2000/team/xyz, i can clone it without any trouble.

but when i use same url in GIT URL, get error code 128...

So git clone works for you on the command line? As the same user the Jenkins is running as? It is possible Jenkins is running as user "jenkins" or something. That user might have home directory that is different from your home directory. The ssh which git uses as transport layer will look for keys in the Jenkins user home dir in subdirectory .ssh
