Getting Permission denied (publickey) tyring to connect using ssh

HI,
I am using the following command to connect to a host_ip :
ssh username@host_ip
My username n public key has been added to the server.
The host_ip also appears in known_hosts file .

Files under my .ssh directory :
github_rsa      github_rsa.pub      id_rsa            id_rsa.pub      known_hosts

I tried the ssh command with -v option following was the output :
ssh -v username@host_ip

I also tried adding the line ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes
  in sshd_config file
but still getting the same error. I saw this in one of the solution so thought probably this will make it work. but it didnt.

what could be wrong?

Please help
Thanks
