Got the issue resolved:

If you have enabled ticket based authentication you should do two things

1) Login as p4 login -a to have generic ticket id

2) Specify ticket id in password field instead 0f actual password

If you do a "env" in the Execute Windows Batch Command" section you can see a environment variable called P4TICKET set by Jenkins when it logins to perforce. This ticket can be used for performing p4 commands in this section. eg

p4 -P %P4TICKET% changes -s submitted -m 10
