Polling is currently on in 42 Assembly constituencies and six Lok Sabha seats in the state.
The BJD letter said, "BJP goons conducted booth capturing in 12 booths of Bari Assembly constituency under Jajpur parliamentary constituency while the polling was going on today."
"The BJP goons also threatened, chased away and did not allow Biju Janata Dal voters to cast their votes," the letter read.
