I'm on windows XP. I'm facing weired problem as when I try to connect to git@github.com using bash ssh -v git@github.com i'm able to connect successfully but when i am trying to connect via cmd on same machine I'm getting message permission denied.
On debugging I found that in case of bash, ssh is checking id_rsa key but in case of cmd SSH is just checking github_rsa. Not even trying to check id_rsa. Below are the logs.

Please suggest what could be the possible case. Some suggests to check the file permissions on my key. Both keys have same file permissions i.e. -rw-r--r--
Below is the updated code after making changes mentioned by @naomi
