i tried formatting but i want to get the value stored in variable s to be printed in summary in payload but it is taking only s as character — user3254437, Apr 14 '18 at 09:19
We can't run this code as it stands. Edit your question to provide a minimal, complete and verifiable example: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve . — BoarGules, Apr 14 '18 at 09:32

Issue with your code is that you have s and s+k inside the quotes and the interpreter treats it like a normal string not a variable. if you want to append 2 strings you need to use + operation.

strA = "this is string A"
strB =  "this is a string B + String A i,e " +strA
print(strB)

output

'this is a string B + String A i,e this is string A'

Here is how to append string to another string in your case:

s = "some summary" #Assumed some Values
k = "something else"

payload = "{\r\n\t\"fields\":{\r\n\"project\":{\"key\":\"SSETOPS\"},\r\n\"summary\":" +'\"'+ s +'\"'+ ",\r\n\"description\":" +'\"'+ k+" "+s +'\"'+ ",\r\n\"issuetype\":{\"name\":\"Task\"},\r\n\"customfield_12610\":{\"value\":\"High\"},\r\n\"components\":[{\"name\":\"Other\"}],\r\n\"assignee\":{\"name\":\"rahsingh\"}\r\n}}"
print(payload)

This is what i got as an output :

{
    "fields":{
"project":{"key":"SSETOPS"},
"summary":"some summary",
"description":"something else some summary",
"issuetype":{"name":"Task"},
"customfield_12610":{"value":"High"},
"components":[{"name":"Other"}],
"assignee":{"name":"rahsingh"}
}}
