use the json module to convert string to json object.

Ex:

import json
h = ["{\"contributors\": null, \"truncated\": false, \"text\": \"RT @itisprashanth: All petitions regarding #jallikattu to be heard by Supreme Court tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the D-Day for all the Youth\u2026\"}"]
for i in h:
    v = json.loads(i)
    print v["text"]

Output:

RT @itisprashanth: All petitions regarding #jallikattu to be heard by Supreme Court tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the D-Day for all the Youth…

Just parse the string (the first element of the given array) as a JSON object, and take its text value.

import json
arr = ["{"contributors": null, "truncated": false, "text": "RT @itisprashanth: All petitions regarding #jallikattu to be heard by Supreme Court tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the D-Day for all the Youth\u2026"}"]
print(json.loads(arr[0])["text"])
# "RT @itisprashanth: All petitions regarding #jallikattu to be heard by Supreme Court tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the D-Day for all the Youth\u2026"
